Haworthia truncata cv

'Lime Green'

An exceptional cultivar of H. truncata and possibly H. cuspidata. Lime Green is an exceptionally fast growing cultivar that freely produces offsets when mature. Much hardier than the species truncata.

Position - partial shade, best in pots. In gardens only in shaded areas with good well drained mix. Indoors only in well-lit positions. Some varieties can live in low light for extended periods and make one of the hardiest of all house plants. In low light, they will elongate.

Watering - can be watered all year round and grows most of the year. Plants will survive without water for many months but will lose condition and take time to recover. Surface must be dry between waterings.

Feeding - 25% of recommended dosage monthly in growing period. The less fertiliser, the better the shape of the plant. Fertilisers high in nitrogen can produce larger but softer plants.

Repotting - can be left to overgrow their pots or repotted at in the warmer months in almost any well drained potting mix.
