About Haworthia margaritifera
Haworthia margaritifera, of the Asphodelaceae family, originates in South Africa and has spread to home cultivation thanks to its beauty and resilience. It stands out for leaves with translucent "windows" at the tip, a peculiarity that has fascinated botanists and enthusiasts for generations.
At Succulentae we produce Haworthia margaritifera with artisanal technique in southeastern Spain, following a cultivation protocol that replicates the sun, dryness and mineral conditions of its native habitat. That's why you receive a robust plant, with marked natural color and hardened against sun and drought.
