🌱 Morphology
  A small succulent without an apparent stem that forms dense and prolific rosettes, capable of producing offsets and creating compact clumps. Its leaves are narrow, elongated and upright, light green in color, with pointed tips and margins and keel provided with small teeth. The surface may show a delicate reticulated pattern, less contrasting than in other varieties of the group. Unlike the typical form, it stands out for its brighter green shade and its relatively erect habit.

🌍 Origin, habitat and family
This variety was described by Bruce Bayer in 1999 from material collected south of Prince Albert, in the Little Karoo, province of Western Cape, South Africa. It grows in a dry and stony landscape, within the vegetation of the succulent Karoo, where rocks and low bushes provide partial protection against radiation and dehydration. The alternation of wet and dry periods favors an opportunistic growth strategy. In cultivation, it needs an airy substrate, fast drainage and protection from intense sun during the middle hours.

Family Asphodelaceae, tribe Alooideae, genus Haworthia.

❄️ Temperature — USDA 10a
It is advisable to protect it from frost and avoid the combination of cold and moisture. As a prudent guideline, it is recommended to keep it above 0 °C.

☀️ Lighting
Abundant filtered light or bright partial shade. An approximate PAR DLI of 8–15 mol·m⁻²·day⁻¹ favors compact growth and maintains the characteristic green tone. Intense sun can cause stress and burns.

💧 Growth cycle and watering
Summer dormancy. It grows when moderate temperatures, adequate lighting and available moisture coincide. It is recommended to water thoroughly and let the substrate dry before repeating. During extreme heat or when activity decreases, watering is spaced out. Prolonged waterlogging can damage its roots.

🌸 Flowering
It produces a fine and elongated inflorescence, with small whitish tubular flowers. Flowering is discreet and has less ornamental interest than the rosette.

🌿 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 watering, reducing or suspending fertilization during periods of dormancy or inactivity.
