Haworthia ‘Lake Akan’
Haworthia 'Lake Akan' has green to chocolate leaves with clear or finely lined translucent tips.
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. ‘Lake Akan’ has green to chocolate leaves with clear or finely lined translucent tips. 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.
