Haworthia kikuhigasa [large] [bare root]

Highlights

Haworthia 'Kikuhigasa' is a refined and elegant cultivar known for its dense rosettes of long, narrow, and numerous leaves, each delicately marked with translucent streaks that shimmer in the light. The leaves arch gracefully outward, giving the plant a soft, parasol-like silhouette reminiscent of its namesake, which translates to “chrysanthemum parasol.” Its subtle coloration—ranging from pale green to silvery hues—adds a sophisticated touch to any succulent collection. Ideal for bright, indirect light and well-draining soil, 'Kikuhigasa' is both low-maintenance and visually striking, making it a favorite among Haworthia collectors. Originally grown in a 3.5" pot. For protection in transit, this plant ships bare root, wrapped in paper.

Haworthia are able to tolerate low, indoor light, making them excellent houseplants, even for beginners. They are particularly easy to grow and rarely affected by common succulent pests and diseases. Strong, drought-tolerant roots will grow if they have great drainage and infrequent water. Pick deep containers with drainage holes and a gritty, well-draining soil that is 50% to 70% mineral grit (coarse sand, pumice, or perlite). Water deeply enough for water to run out the drainage hole and allow the soil to completely dry before watering again.

This genus tolerates high heat by slowing down and eventually going dormant in the peak of summer. This means that, unlike other succulents, it is important not to over-water or fertilize during summer dormancy. Haworthia are slow growers and tend to stay small in pots, but they will produce new offsets in clumps around their bases. These offsets can be left to develop into a dense clump or pulled off and transplanted.
