Haworthia attenuata var. radula - 20 Seed Pack - Indigenous Endemic Succulent - NEW

Haworthia is a large genus of small succulent plants, mostly endemic to South Africa. Like Gasteria and Aloe, they are members of the family Asphodeloideae and they generally resemble miniature aloes, except in their flowers, which are characteristic in appearance. Horticulturally they are popular rockery garden and container plants. Typically they range from 4 cm to 20 cm high, depending on the species, though the inflorescences of some species may exceed 40 cm. Solitary or clump-forming most species have firm, tough leaves, usually dark green in color, whereas others are softer and are window plants with translucent panels through which sunlight can reach internal photosynthetic tissues. Their flowers are small, white and very similar between species. But their leaves show wide variations even within one species.

The charm of Haworthias is in their small size, ease of growth, and the almost infinite variation of their delightful leaves. Haworthias rarely require a pot larger than 10cm in diameter making them ideally suited for a bright windowsill. Perhaps the biggest problem you will encounter when growing Haworthias is that they tend to be addictive!

Haworthia attenuata var. radula is a South African indigenous succulent. This variety of Haworthia attenuata, an endemic species, is differentiated because of its smaller and more numerous tubercles. The leaves are rougher rather than tuberculate. The leaves are more slender and longer. It is a very attractive plant in cultivation as the many tubercles give the plant a silvery appearance. Haworthia attenuata var. radula is an easy species and doesn't require any special growing conditions.
