Haworthia 'Monju' | Emerald Green Window Haworthia
€21,20
🌱 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.
