🌱 Morphology
  Haworthia hybrid. A very slow-growing succulent that forms compact, generally solitary rosettes about 7–10 cm in diameter. Its thick, turgid leaves are grey-green to pinkish-grey, with rounded, truncated tips that form large translucent windows. These terminal surfaces feature fine brownish-purple longitudinal lines, reminiscent of copper veins drawn on glass. The leaves remain very close to the ground and can take on pink or coppery hues under intense light. It occasionally produces offsets, but usually retains its solitary habit for many years. No exclusive traits have been verified that would allow the ‘Debi’ clone to be reliably distinguished from other selections of the species.

🌍 Origin, habitat and family
Haworthia springbokvlakensis is native to the eastern Little Karoo in the Eastern Cape Province of South Africa, especially Springbokvlakte, near Steytlerville. It grows in stony, compact soils, between rock crevices and under the protection of small shrubs. In the wild, it remains almost buried, leaving the leaf windows exposed to capture light while reducing water loss. Rainfall is scarce and irregular, occurring in both winter and summer. The name ‘Debi’ is used in cultivation, but its locality of selection and genealogy have not been confirmed.

Family Asphodelaceae · Tribe Alooideae · Genus Haworthia.

❄️ Temperature — USDA 10a
Tolerates brief drops to approximately −2 °C if the substrate remains dry. It is best to protect it from prolonged frosts and damp cold.

☀️ Lighting
Bright filtered light or bright partial shade. Intense sun should be introduced gradually to prevent burning. A PAR DLI of approximately 8–15 mol·m⁻²·day⁻¹ promotes compact growth and highlights the patterns on the leaf windows.

💧 Growth cycle and watering
Summer dormancy. Its activity depends on the combination of temperature, light, and available moisture. Water thoroughly and allow the substrate to dry out completely before watering again. Reduce watering during periods of extreme heat and winter cold, avoiding persistent moisture around the roots.

🌸 Flowering
Produces a slender, elongated inflorescence up to about 25 cm long, with small whitish flowers along a central brown line. Flowering is inconspicuous, and the ornamental appeal lies mainly in the transparent windows and their coppery lines.

🌿 Nutrition
During the active growth period, Desert CHOICE® Aloes, Haworthias & Co. is recommended, with a high content of potassium and bioavailable calcium. Apply with watering, reducing or suspending fertilization during periods of dormancy or inactivity.
