Haworthia angustifolia
Family: Aloaceae
H. angustifolia comes from Eastern Cape. It is a modest species, which can be very easily propagated by offsets. It is a small clump-forming species with long narrow leaves.
Sowing instructions: Sow the seeds during the cool, early summer months of the year in a light, sandy, loam mixture in a seed tray, 4 mm below the soil surface. If sown too deep, they will be smothered and probably not germinate. Ensure there is adequate drainage. A light mixture constitutes materials such as pumice, gravel, perlite and fine-textured humus. On top of this mixture, sprinkle a thin layer of coarse sand. Keep the area weed free and water with a fine mist spray every second day. Ensure the seed trays are in a sunny position.
