Haworthia truncata

Haworthia truncata is a distinctive succulent species endemic to the Little Karoo region of the Western Cape, South Africa. It is typically found growing in quartzite flats or shallow rocky soils, often partially buried with only the leaf tips exposed to the sun. These truncated leaf tips feature translucent windows that assist in maximising light absorption while reducing moisture loss in its semi-arid habitat.

Care Tips:

• Light: Prefers bright, filtered light; avoid intense direct sunlight
• Water: Allow to dry thoroughly between waterings; water more sparingly in cooler months
• Humidity: Tolerates dry air; no additional humidity required
• Media: Requires a well-draining, mineral-rich mix with grit or pumice
• Temperature: Thrives between 10–25 °C; protect from frost
• Fertiliser: Use diluted succulent fertiliser during the active growing season
• Repotting: Repot infrequently, only when outgrowing the pot or if soil has degraded
