Haworthia herbacea (luteorosea) (price per 5 seeds)

It is a small, low growing succulent that forms crowded clusters varying in size from 35 mm to 80 mm in diameter, but this plant will never take much space in a collection. It grows deeply sunken in the ground and is has characteristic hairy but firm glassy spines with some striping and spotting on the leaves, barely has that translucent look when very small.

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.
