Haworthia herbacea variegata
Ideally, place in partial shade.
Always water a few days after the substrate has dried out. Reduce watering in winter.
It can tolerate temperatures as low as -1.1 °C for short periods. However, the plant is not frost-resistant.
Variegated parts are more sensitive to sunlight, so place the plant in a bright spot without direct summer heat—the colors will remain bright and the leaves will not get burned.
Haworthia herbacea variegata is a variegated form of Haworthia grown for its distinctive leaf pattern. Under this name, plants with slightly different appearances may be found in cultivation, but they share variegation and a similar leaf structure.
This succulent forms ground-level rosettes of elongated, usually dark green leaves with yellow variegation. The leaf surfaces are covered with numerous white dots, evenly distributed on both the upper and lower sides. The plant produces offsets from the base and gradually forms small clumps.
Flowering occurs in summer, producing small tubular flowers on a slender flower stalk emerging from the center of the rosette.
Haworthia herbacea variegata is an easy succulent suitable for a bright position without direct, harsh sunlight. It grows best in well-draining soil and in smaller pots where watering can be easily controlled. If you are looking for a variegated Haworthia with a distinct dotted leaf pattern, this form is a good choice.
