🌱 Morphology
  A collector's hybrid Haworthia that forms compact rosettes of thick, triangular, fleshy leaves. The upper surface features translucent, luminous green windows, crossed by pink lines that create delicate patterns. The reverse of the leaves takes on brownish-purple or dark chocolate tones, creating a very attractive contrast when light passes through the tissues. The tips are broad and slightly truncated, with a translucent surface reminiscent of small stained-glass windows. The coloration changes according to lighting and the season, with pink and dark tones intensifying under proper lighting conditions.

🌍 Origin, habitat, and family
It is a horticultural hybrid related to Haworthia picta var. comptoniana, a species that grows in quartz fields in the Willowmore district, Eastern Cape, South Africa. The selection known as ‘Natalie’ is also marketed as a hybrid of Haworthia splendens, related to populations around Albertinia, in the Western Cape. It has no wild locality of its own, and I have not found a primary description from the breeder confirming its complete genealogy.

Family Asphodelaceae · Tribe Alooideae · Genus Haworthia.

❄️ Temperature — USDA 10a
It is best to keep it above -1 °C and protect it from frost, especially when the substrate is damp.

☀️ Lighting
Abundant filtered light or bright partial shade. Gradual lighting promotes pink tones and window definition, but intense, sudden sun should be avoided. Indicative DLI PAR: 8–15 mol·m⁻²·day⁻¹.

💧 Growth cycle and watering
Summer dormancy. During cool seasons, it is recommended to water thoroughly and allow the substrate to dry before the next watering. In summer, reduce water intake during intense heat and maintain good ventilation, avoiding persistent moisture in the roots.

🌸 Flowering
It produces a thin, elongated inflorescence with small, whitish tubular flowers, streaked with greenish or brownish lines. The flowering is discreet compared to the appeal of the pink windows and the dark reverse of the leaves.

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