Origin and Habitat
Nursery produced form.
Cultivation and Propagation
In cultivation it belongs to more difficult and slow-growing species. (very prone to rot) Plants need a very well-drained soil mix (more so than many other Haworthias) and little to moderate water in summer, almost none in winter, as they are very rot prone particularly when young. They require half shade to shade. Frost tolerance: hardy to -10°C for short periods.
Propagation: by offsets if available (This species does not offset often)
