🌱 Morphology
   Small, slow-growing succulent that forms stemless rosettes, approximately 2.5–8 cm in diameter. Its numerous leaves are fleshy, light green, oval or elongated, with blunt apices slightly curved inward. The upper surface, nearly flat or gently convex, features translucent windows crossed by fine green lines that branch out to form a delicate reticulation. The underside is convex and smooth, with a faint central keel. It produces offsets slowly and can form small clumps.

🌍 Origin, habitat, and family
The name Haworthia incurvula is historically associated with the region of Grahamstown (Makhanda), in the Eastern Cape, South Africa, especially Pluto’s Vale, where it grows among rocks and shrubs. It inhabits stony terrain, in protected crevices that allow for rapid drainage. The accession IB8569 is identified by this name in specialized collections.

Family Asphodelaceae · Tribe Alooideae · Genus Haworthia.

❄️ Temperature — USDA 10a
Tolerates minimum temperatures down to 0 °C in dry conditions; it is advisable to protect it from frost and prolonged cold.

☀️ Lighting
Abundant filtered light or partial shade. Avoid intense sun during peak hours to preserve the translucent tissue of the leaves. As a reference, a DLI PAR of 8–15 mol·m⁻²·day⁻¹ allows for a good balance between compact growth and reticulation definition.

💧 Growth cycle and watering
Opportunistic. It can grow when moderate temperatures, adequate lighting, and available moisture coincide. It is recommended to water thoroughly and allow the substrate to dry before watering again. During extreme heat or cold, reduce watering and avoid waterlogging.

🌸 Flowering
It produces a thin, elongated inflorescence, with small whitish flowers streaked with brownish or tan lines. Its main ornamental value lies in its leaf windows and delicate reticulated pattern.

🌿 Nutrition
During the active growth period, Desert CHOICE® Aloes, Haworthias & Co. is recommended, with a high content of potassium and bioavailable calcium. It is applied with irrigation, reducing or suspending fertilization during periods of rest or dormancy.
