Attractive stacked leaves on this Haworthia are its main attraction with insignificant flowers. See this in person to get the full impact of the thin sharply defined and pointed leaves that form stacked spirals. An unusual and interesting form. Greenhouse grown in 9b.

Most succulents do not need to be watered like you average houseplant. If you water or over water these succulents to much the will most likely wind up with root rot. So be very careful not to let them sit in any excess water and do not water again until dry!
