Haworthia Mucronata

Haworthia Mucronata

Haworthia Mucronata, also known as the “Cat’s Tail” or “Triangle Aloe,” is a striking succulent with long, narrow, triangular leaves that form a dense rosette. The leaves are green to dark green, often with small white spots or lines. The distinctive feature of this species is the sharp, pointed tips of its leaves, which resemble a cat’s tail or a spiny arrow.

Care Tips:

Light: Prefers bright, indirect sunlight but can tolerate some direct morning sun. Too much direct sunlight can cause the leaves to scorch.

Water: Water sparingly, allowing the soil to dry completely between waterings. Overwatering can lead to root rot, so ensure good drainage.

Soil: Needs well-draining soil. A cactus or succulent mix works well to maintain proper moisture levels.

Temperature: Thrives in temperatures between 60°F to 85°F (15°C to 29°C). Not frost-tolerant—bring indoors or protect during cold weather.

Propagation: Propagates through offsets that develop around the base of the plant. Allow the offsets to callous before planting.

Uses: Great for small pots, succulent displays, and as a striking addition to mixed succulent gardens. Its sharp, angular leaves make it a bold and architectural addition to any space.
