Haworthia cuspidata - Star Window Plant
Family
Aloaceae
Origin
Eastern Cape, South Africa
Description
Haworthia cuspidata is a rosette forming succulent, with star-like rosetes, up to 4 inches (10 cm) across. The leaves are lime green to greenish-grey, wedge-shaped, pointed at the tip, with darker green glassy windowed translucent areas near tips. The flowers are white, borne on a 8 inches (20 cm) tall inflorescence.
They are often grown in small clusters in wide, shallow dishes. Over time, clusters will naturally enlarge as the mother plant sends off small plantlets. When the cluster has outgrown its dish, repot in the spring or early summer into a new wide and shallow dish with fresh potting soil
Environment
Haworthia are not considered difficult houseplants to grow. As with all succulents, the most dangerous situation is too much water they should never be allowed to sit in water under any circumstances. Haworthias will survive on less light than many other succulents, however, in order to produce their colorful foliage, they need some sun.
These decorative little plants can be grown in interesting containers such as tea cups and even miniature baby shoes. Make sure the container had adequate drainage. If it doesn t, it might be a good idea to pop the plant out of its container and add a layer of gravel to the bottom to reduce the wicking action of the soil above.
