Haworthia ‘Frosted Globe’
Haworthia 'Frosted Globe' forms tight rosettes of green to reddish leaves with translucent tips dusted 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. ‘Frosted Globe’ forms tight rosettes of green to reddish leaves with translucent tips dusted with silver-white hairs like a light frost. Easy to grow. Tolerant of lower light than other succulents and cool temperatures but best kept above freezing.
