About Haworthia truncata
Coming from South Africa, Haworthia truncata is a succulent of the Asphodelaceae family appreciated by collectors and enthusiasts. It stands out for leaves with translucent “windows” at the tip, a peculiarity that has fascinated botanists and enthusiasts for generations.
Every specimen of Haworthia truncata from Succulentae is grown outdoors in our Almería nursery, exposed to desert sun and controlled mineral watering. The result: more compact, better colored and more resilient plants than those grown in artificial greenhouses.

Did you know?
The translucent “windows” on the leaves (especially Haworthia cooperi and H. truncata) allow light to penetrate inside the plant, a unique adaptation for photosynthesis under sand.
Light
Very bright, indirect or filtered light. Ideal near a south or east window.
Water
Water when the substrate is completely dry. In summer every 1-2 weeks, let it rest in winter (every 3-4 weeks or less).
Substrate
Mineral substrate with high drainage: pumice, akadama and a little peat. We ship it ready in its substrate — no repotting needed for 12-18 months.
Temperature
Ideal between 18 and 28 °C. Tolerates down to 5 °C in winter if the substrate is dry. Protect from frost.
