Haworthia limifolia - Spider White [large]

Highlights

Haworthia limifolia 'Spider White' is a visually striking cultivar known for its dramatic, spiral-arranged rosettes and bold variegation. This succulent features dense, triangular leaves with pronounced ridges and a creamy white coloration that contrasts sharply against its dark green base. The unique zebra-like patterning resembles spider webbing, giving the plant its distinctive name. 'Spider White' typically grows to a compact size of 4–6 inches in diameter, making it an ideal specimen for windowsills, small containers, or intricate succulent arrangements. Its slow growth habit and architectural form make it both a collectible and a practical choice for indoor environments with limited space. 

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.
