About Haworthia byakuya
Known in botany as Haworthia byakuya, this succulent belongs to the Asphodelaceae family and comes from South Africa. The most striking thing about this plant is leaves with translucent "windows" at the tip, a feature that defines its personality and sets it apart within its genus.
We grow Haworthia byakuya at Succulentae, in the heart of the Almería desert, where the dry Mediterranean climate replicates the ideal conditions for the plant to develop its compact form and best coloration. The result: more compact, better colored and more resilient plants than those grown in artificial greenhouses.
