Haworthia

The Haworthia is a miniature succulent native to South Africa and is one of the easiest houseplants to care for. It is characterized by its architectural structure, typically solitary columns which form in layers, though this can differ widely between varieties and even within the same species.

A common Haworthia is characterized by its rosette-shaped, tightly packed leafy clusters. Some are firm, tough, and dark green, whereas other species are softer and even translucent. Those of the firm, dark green variety are typically dotted with white spots and can turn a rich hue of purple-red when exposed to full sun. In addition to being pet-friendly, these plants are also closely related to aloe. It has some of the same healing properties, like soothing cuts, burns, and rashes.
