Haworthia Retusa

Haworthia Retusa

Haworthia Retusa is a small, rosette-forming succulent known for its thick, pointed, triangular leaves that are typically dark green with translucent tips. The leaves often have a windowed appearance, allowing light to enter for photosynthesis, which gives this plant its unique glow. Its compact size and architectural form make it a favorite among collectors and succulent enthusiasts.

Care Tips:

Light: Prefers bright, indirect sunlight. It can tolerate some direct morning sun but should be shielded from harsh afternoon rays to avoid leaf burn.

Water: Water moderately and allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings. Avoid letting water sit in the rosette to prevent rot.

Soil: Requires well-draining soil. A cactus or succulent mix works best for proper drainage.

Temperature: Grows well in temperatures between 60°F to 80°F (15°C to 27°C). Not frost-tolerant—keep indoors or protect from cold weather.

Propagation: Easily propagated from offsets or leaf cuttings. Offsets can be separated once they’ve developed a bit and planted in well-draining soil.

Uses: Ideal for small pots, succulent arrangements, and indoor decor. Its unique windowed leaves and compact form make it a standout piece in any succulent collection.
