The Haworthia species of succulent are a highly collectable clan of house plant and the Veined Haworthia is definitely not an exception. Most plant lovers are drawn to its attractive star-shape that is heavily veined and if allowed to stand in direct sunlight with flush a brilliant red.
This variety of houseplant is a compact grower and is more likely to spread then grow tall, making them ideal for small spaces or a happy window sill dweller. They require very little attention and prefer being watered once the soil has dried completely and will tolerate bouts of drought, they also will prefer to live where the air is on the drier side.
Veined Haworthia loves bright light to direct sunlight and the colour of this adorable plant can be manipulated according to the light it is given. They will thrive best in bright indirect light making them the ideal home or office plant.
Haworthia, in general, is so easy to care for that they are fantastic for the first time plant parent or less attentive plant lover. Pair them with a classical terracotta for an earthy look or a plain unadorned planter to allow these succulents lovely stars to shine.
Please note: Haworthia are happily pet and child friendly but prefer not to be eaten, rather admired.
