Haworthia picta (live succulent)

Haworthia picta (live succulent)

Family: Aloaceae.

It belongs to one of most attractive species and is sought after by collectors for its beautifully marked solitary rosette, the leaf tips are nicely spotted and turn a tan colour in strong light. Vaguely reminding in outline for a Haworthia retusa, this handsome little gem differs by the prettily marked leaf faces and the etchings of white showing well against the darker green of the leaves. It is for this reason the plant was named, picta “the painted”.
