Cultivar prized for its light gray to silvery variegated leaves with delicately translucent tips, which give the plant its characteristic "misty" appearance.
Haworthia cymbiformis Grey Ghost is a variegated form also known under names such as Haworthia magnifica var. acuminata Grey Ghost. It is a succulent grown as a houseplant, valued mainly for its light grey-green leaf coloration and distinct patterning.
The leaves are triangular, up to about 5 cm long, light green with whitish-grey markings and fine veining visible on the upper surface. They are arranged in stemless, solitary rosettes that usually reach a diameter of around 8 cm and remain separate, without forming dense clumps.
The flowers are small, white, with green lines. They appear on thin flower stalks emerging from the center of the rosette.
For cultivation, a bright position with partial shade is suitable. The substrate should be well-draining, and watering should be moderate, allowing the substrate to dry between waterings. This succulent is suitable for growers who prefer haworthias with subtle variegation.
