Haworthia ‘Ice City’
Haworthia 'Ice City' has triangular, slightly curling, sparkly, translucent leaves with shades of green and peach.
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. ‘Ice City’ has triangular, slightly curling, sparkly, translucent leaves with shades of green and peach. Deeper tones can develop in more light or with stress. Easy to grow. Tolerant of lower light than other succulents and cool temperatures but best kept above freezing.
