Haworthia truncata
“Lime green” is a very nice hybrid, characterized by broad squared-off leaves with the typical fan-like leaf arrangement of Haworthia truncata and ability to form nice clumps. It seems to be an hybrid between Haworthia truncata and Haworthia cuspidata (or perhaps Haworthia cymbiformis)
Rosettes: Stemless shaped like a fan.
Leaves: Marbled light to lime green, with "semi"-transparent windows, lovely frosted with fanned shades of lime green. The leaves seem to glisten.
Flowers: The flower stalks reaches over a 30 cm in height, and feature small white blossoms and cream/tan hanging, inconspicuous flowers.
Blooming season: Blooms repeatedly, mainly in late Spring/Early Summer.
Remarks: This nice creature has thick, truncated leaves that fan open like the pages in a book. The squat leaves are lime and chartreuse, making the plant a major conversation piece. The tips of the leaves are like windows looking into the green jelly inside.
Water deeply enough for water to run out the drainage hole, then wait for the soil to fully dry before watering again.
Recommended Light Conditions | Low Indoor Light, Filtered / Partial Sun |
Maximum Height | 3"-5" |
Growth Habit / Shape | Loose Rosette, Clumping / Mounding |
Seasonality | Summer Dormant Partial |
Product Format | 2.0" Pot |
Special Characteristic | Slow Grower, Pet Safe |
