€53,00
🌱 Morphology
A collector's cultivar marketed as 'Maxi Suka Ball'. Cactus Nishi documents a selection called 'Suka Ball', characterized by its rounded, translucent, light green windows, crisscrossed by green lines of variable pattern. Its appearance stands out for the combination of transparency, rounded geometry, and green latticework. In this case, it corresponds to a larger size. In many Haworthias, the old roots can deteriorate during the summer dormancy and renew when growth resumes in autumn.
🌍 Origin, habitat and family
