Haworthia Truncata

Haworthia Truncata

Haworthia Truncata, also known as the “Horse’s Teeth” succulent, is a unique and striking plant with flattened, rectangular leaves that appear as if cut off at the top. The leaf tops are translucent and often display intricate window-like patterns, allowing light to enter for photosynthesis. Its unusual geometric form makes it a standout among succulents.

Care Tips:

Light: Prefers bright, indirect light. Can tolerate mild morning sun but should be protected from intense, direct sunlight to avoid leaf burn.

Water: Water sparingly. Allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings. Overwatering should be avoided.

Soil: Requires very well-draining soil. A gritty succulent mix with sand or pumice is ideal.

Temperature: Best suited for temperatures between 60°F to 80°F (15°C to 27°C). Protect from frost and cold drafts.

Propagation: Propagated from offsets or leaf cuttings. Seeds can also be used, though they grow slowly.

Uses: Ideal for collectors, display pots, and rock gardens. Its sculptural form makes it a conversation piece and a perfect addition to unique succulent arrangements
