Haworthia retusa x maughanii
DESCRIPTION
Introducing the exquisite hybrid, Haworthia retusa x maughanii, a mesmerizing addition to any succulent collection. This unique cross combines the best traits of its parent species, offering a captivating display of lush, translucent green leaves that seem to glow when backlit by sunlight. Native to South Africa, like its predecessors, this hybrid forms a compact rosette that can reach up to 5 inches in both height and width, making it a perfect fit for small spaces or as a desk plant.
The leaves of Haworthia retusa x maughanii are thick, fleshy, and shaped like the prow of a ship, coming to a distinct point at their tips. This striking feature, coupled with the plant's tendency to form tight clusters over time, allows it to create a visually appealing, dense mat of greenery. Despite its robust appearance, this plant is relatively low maintenance, requiring minimal water and thriving in indirect light, which makes it ideal for beginners or those seeking to add a touch of nature to their indoor spaces without the hassle of constant care.
In spring and occasionally in fall, the Haworthia retusa x maughanii may surprise you with delicate, white flowers that emerge on thin, long stems, adding an extra layer of charm to its already stunning appearance. Though it's a slow grower, the architectural beauty and ease of care make this hybrid a must-have for enthusiasts and casual plant lovers alike. Whether nestled in a terrarium, perched on a windowsill, or displayed in a collection of pots, this succulent is sure to steal the spotlight.
PLANT SIZING & APPEARANCE
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!
