Haworthia ‘Cashmere Sphere’

Haworthia 'Cashmere Sphere' has pale green to tan leaves which stripe into the translucent tips with silver-white hairs.

Haworthia is an intriguing genus related to Aloe and native to southern Africa. Most form small rosettes of succulent foliage often with translucent tips or “light pipes” that allow light to enter into the leaves — which are often half buried in sand in the wild — for photosynthesis. ‘Cashmere Sphere’ has pale green to tan leaves which stripe into the translucent tips. The leaves are lightly covered in silver-white hairs. Colours can deepen with more light and stress. Easy to grow. Tolerant of lower light than other succulents and cool temperatures but best kept above freezing.
