Where it grows
Hybrid plant grown in cultivation.
Special features
Super dark-black coloured select Haworthia cultivar. Named for the black, volcanic plains of Mordor, the realm of Sauron, in the ‘Lord of the Rings’ franchise.
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
Autumn / spring.
Propagation
