Haworthia ‘Sun Moon Lake’
Haworthia 'Sun Moon Lake' has triangular leaves in shades of burgundy with pink and burgundy lines through the translucent windows.
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. ‘Sun Moon Lake’ has triangular leaves in shades of burgundy with pink and burgundy lines through the translucent windows. 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.
