Haworthia maughanii ‘Hakuji Lens’
Haworthia truncata var. maughanii 'Hakuji Lens' has green leaves in a rosette each with a flattened, truncated, frosted tip all flushing reddish with a touch of stress.
Haworthia maughanii (sometimes listed as a variety of H. truncata) is a distinctive succulent from the Little Karoo region of South Africa’s Western Cape province with rounded to angled leaves held in a loose rosette. The tips are truncated and translucent acting as “light pipes” that allow light to enter into the leaves — which are often half buried in sand in the wild — for photosynthesis. ‘Hakuji Lens’ is a beautiful form that can flush reddish with stress all around the frosted truncated tips. Easy to grow. Tolerant of lower light than other succulents and cool temperatures but best kept above freezing.
