Haworthia Pygmaea

Haworthia pygmaea Poelln is a slowly proliferating species with small rosettes up to 3 cm in diameter characterized by glossy dark green retused leaves with pellucid scabrid or papillate leaf surfaces.

Typically a mild climate plant, Haworthia adapts especially well to the interiors of our homes and apartments. It develops well between temperatures of 18-22°C, and it needs light. Be careful nonetheless. Avoid placing the plant directly behind a window with too much sun exposure

Give the plant an airy growing medium which mainly consists of non-organic material such as clay, pumice, lava grit, and only a little peat or leaf-mold. Needs a deep pot to accommodate the long, thick, contractile roots. It needs regular water but does not water again until dry. Also, it is a species that is dormant in the winter and requires very little water
