🌱 Morphology
   A collector's hybrid from the Haworthia comptoniana group, cataloged by Cactus Nishi with the reference HCNX-37 and the Japanese name 紋寿. Its most distinctive feature is the transparent leaf windows, crossed by exceptionally thick green lines, which create a very pronounced and unconventional pattern. The contrast between the transparency of the windows and the intensity of its green lattice is the main attraction of this selection. A complete parental formula has not been confirmed. As happens with many Haworthias, the old roots can deteriorate during the summer dormancy and renew when growth resumes in autumn.

❄️ Temperature — USDA 10a
It is advisable to keep it above -1 °C and protect it from frost, especially when the substrate is wet. During intense heat, it needs ventilation and protection from direct sunlight.

Abundant filtered light or bright partial shade. Balanced lighting favors compact development and allows the window pattern to be appreciated; intense sun can cause burns. Approximate DLI PAR: 8–15 mol·m⁻²·day⁻¹.

💧 Growth cycle and watering
Summer dormancy. During the cool seasons, water thoroughly and let the substrate dry before repeating. During episodes of intense heat, reduce watering and improve ventilation. Gradually resume watering in autumn, when temperatures drop and root growth reactivates. Avoid waterlogging.

🌸 Flowering
