Haworthia maughanii x truncata [large]

Highlights

Haworthia maughanii x truncata: A unique plant with thick leaves that look like jelly candies. This variety protects itself from drought and browsing animals by retreating underground. In order to get enough light to survive, its leaves are topped with translucent "windows" that allow sunlight to irradiate the leaf interior. The leaves have are a blue-green tone while the tops have a frosty, veined look. This variety is endangered in its native habitats in South Africa due to poaching. This plant is fully rooted in a 3.5" pot.

This variety of Haworthia likes a bit more light than most. 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 and water a bit more frequently in the winter growing season. 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.
