Haworthia ‘Ice Sugar’
Haworthia 'Ice Sugar' has triangular leaves with flattened translucent tips all studded with stubby white hairs.
Haworthia is an intriguing genus related to Aloe 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 Sugar’ has triangular leaves with flattened translucent tips all studded with stubby white hairs like a covering of hoar frost. Easy to grow. Tolerant of lower light than other succulents and cool temperatures but best kept above freezing.
