Haworthia retusa f. fouchei
DESCRIPTION
Embodying the essence of a rare gem, Haworthia retusa f. fouchei is a captivating succulent hailing from the diverse landscapes of South Africa. This plant is a marvel of nature, featuring translucent, lime-green leaves that form a striking star-shaped rosette. The leaves are thick and fleshy, with a unique, almost crystalline appearance that allows light to filter through, illuminating the plant's inner beauty. This particular variety of Haworthia stands out for its compact size, typically growing up to 4 inches in height and width, making it an ideal choice for small spaces or as a desk companion.
Perfect for beginners, Haworthia retusa f. fouchei is not only low-maintenance but also quite resilient, thriving in indirect light and requiring minimal watering. Its architectural shape and the ethereal quality of its leaves make it a stunning addition to any indoor garden, terrarium, or as a solitary specimen in a minimalist pot. Despite its modest growth rate, this succulent is known to produce offshoots around its base, gradually forming a delightful cluster of starry rosettes over time.
While it may not be as flashy in bloom as some of its succulent counterparts, Haworthia retusa f. fouchei occasionally graces its admirers with delicate, white flowers that emerge on slender stalks, adding an understated elegance to its already mesmerizing appearance. Whether you're a seasoned succulent collector or just starting your plant journey, this enchanting Haworthia variety is sure to captivate and charm, bringing a touch of the extraordinary to your indoor oasis.
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!
