Description
Haworthia cymbiformis var. cymbiformis comes from 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. ‘Variegata’ has grey-green leaves heavily and variably marked with white. Easy to grow. Tolerant of lower light than other succulents and cool temperatures but best kept above freezing.
