Positive palmbob On Sep 25, 2004, palmbob from Tarzana, CA (Zone 9b) wrote:

Very common plant in cultivation- probably the most commonly sold Haworthia at least here in So California. Forms clumps quickly and these eventually become columns of tightly packed dark pointed upright leaves with prominent white warts on them. It is an easily recognizable plant. What's not so easy for me is to tell the various varieties apart (are 5-7 varieties and forms)... look a lot alike to me. Great pot plant as plant will eventually fill pot and start 'pouring' at all sides, making a very ornamental succulent. One of the harder Haworthias to rot accidentally (in my experience) and handles zone 9b without a problem, not even showing damage at 24F. Great garden plant, too, but tends to get covered over by other things in crowded gardens.
