Haworthia glabrata - Succulent - 3" Pot

Haworthia glabrata is a small, clump-forming succulent native to the Eastern Cape of South Africa, closely related to the popular zebra haworthias. It forms tight rosettes of firm, upward-curving leaves that are smooth and deep green, sometimes flushing reddish-bronze under strong light. Mature plants stay small, usually under 10-12 cm across, making them ideal for compact spaces.

In Indian homes it thrives on bright windowsills, balconies and desks, tolerating the warmth of most regions while needing protection from harsh midday summer sun. Like other haworthias it is forgiving of neglect, stores water in its leaves, and offsets readily to form a small colony that can be divided and shared.
