Description
Haworthia emelyae var. emelyae comes from 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. ‘Silver’ has distinctive leaves with triangular, translucent tips heavily speckled with white and flushed with pink when young. Easy to grow. Tolerant of lower light than other succulents and cool temperatures but best kept above freezing.
