Description
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. ‘Hime Jukin’ (‘Princess Jukin’) is a spectacular variegated cultivar with long, pointed, tongue-like leaves variably and boldly striped with cream and ivory white which is usually boldest in a quarter to half of the rosette. Every plant is different. Easy to grow. Tolerant of lower light than other succulents and cool temperatures but best kept above freezing.
