Where it grows
Hybrid plant grown in cultivation.
Special features
A reverse or ‘Aurea’ variegated specimen of Haworthia ‘Mordor’. Normally completely black, this plant is pure cream colour with mottled dark chlorophyll.
Care guide
Haworthia are shade loving succulents and need to be kept under at least 60% shade cloth. This genus requires super gritty soil mixes and will thrive in a mixture involving Ibaraki Akadama and Hyuga pumice. Water them well throughout the year, particularly in autumn and spring, but make sure the soil dries out somewhat between each watering session. Do not water when the weather is overly hot as this may cause root rot.
Growing season
