Haworthia viscosa

Introducing the intriguing Haworthia viscosa, a mesmerizing succulent hailing from the rocky landscapes of South Africa. This architectural marvel is distinguished by its striking, spiral arrangement of leaves, which form a rosette that seems to twist upwards towards the sky. The leaves themselves are a deep, lush green, rigid, and adorned with small white tubercles that give the plant a textured, almost prehistoric appearance. Haworthia viscosa typically reaches a modest height of about 4 to 5 inches, making it an ideal choice for those looking to add a touch of exotic sophistication to smaller spaces.

Thriving in well-drained soil and partial shade, this hardy plant is relatively low-maintenance, requiring only minimal water to keep it looking its best. Its compact size and unique form make it a perfect candidate for a desktop terrarium, a windowsill collection, or as a standout addition to a succulent garden. Despite its slow growth rate, the visual interest it adds to any setting is immediate and enduring.

While Haworthia viscosa does not bloom as readily as some of its succulent cousins, when it does, it produces delicate, white flowers that add an unexpected and delightful contrast to its rugged foliage. These flowers, emerging on long, slender stalks, are a rare treat that further enhances the plant's appeal.

Whether you're a seasoned succulent collector or just beginning to explore the world of these resilient plants, Haworthia viscosa offers a blend of beauty, intrigue, and ease of care that is sure to enchant and inspire.

Plant sizing is based on the diameter of the nursery pot (2", 2.5", 3", 4" etc), not the plant itself. Plants may be slightly larger or smaller than the pot they are grow in depending on availability or time of year. While we do our best to ship plants as similar to those pictured as possible, please keep in mind that all plants are unique from one to the next, and display color, shape, and growth variation based on current environment, time of year, and other contributing factors. Please note that we ship our plants as dry as possible in the fall and winter months to prevent root rot or freezing. They will plump back up after planting!
