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. ‘Mirrorball’ has green to grey-green triangular leaves with small silver-white hairs that make the rosette seem to sparkle. 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.
