Haworthia truncata 'Lime Green' is a cultivated form of the South African species Haworthia truncata, known for its unusual growth pattern in which flattened leaf tips emerge in two opposite rows. Native to the Little Karoo region of the Western Cape, this succulent typically grows in shaded quartzite flats where it benefits from protection by surrounding vegetation and gritty, mineral-rich soils. The 'Lime Green' form is selected for its lighter, brighter green foliage compared to typical specimens.
Care Tips:
Light: Prefers bright, indirect light; avoid harsh direct sun which may bleach or damage the foliage
Water: Allow soil to dry fully between waterings; overwatering is a common cause of root loss
Humidity: Tolerates dry air; does not require added humidity
Media: Use a very well-drained gritty mix with mineral content, such as pumice and coarse sand
Temperature: Thrives between 10–25 °C; protect from frost and extreme heat
Fertiliser: Apply diluted cactus fertiliser during active growth in spring to early summer
Repotting: Infrequent; only repot when roots become congested, usually every 2–3 years
