About Haworthiopsis fasciata
Haworthiopsis fasciata is one of the most distinctive succulents in the Asphodelaceae family. Its origin is in South Africa. The most striking thing about this plant is rosette leaves with white lines or warts, a feature that defines its personality and sets it apart within its genus.
Every specimen of Haworthiopsis fasciata from Succulentae is grown outdoors in our Almería nursery, exposed to desert sun and controlled mineral watering. That’s why you receive a robust plant, with marked natural color and hardened against sun and drought.
