Unlike desert cacti, it lacks spines and produces delicate, bell-shaped yellow or orange flowers at the tips of its branches during late winter and early spring.
Haworthia (genus)
Haworthia
Haworthia is a genus of soft-leaved succulent plants native to southern Africa, particularly South Africa. These compact, rosette-forming plants are prized as houseplants for their tolerance of low-light conditions and ease of care.
Crowded Haworthia
Haworthia coarctata
Haworthia coarctata is a slow-growing succulent that forms upright columns of tightly packed, incurved dark-green leaves dotted with white tubercles. Under bright light the towers stay compact and flush attractive red-bronze tones. It is an easy, forgiving houseplant that clumps into small colonies over time.
Cooper's Haworthia
Haworthia cooperi
Haworthia cooperi is a charming dwarf succulent native to the Eastern Cape of South Africa. It forms compact rosettes of fleshy, translucent-tipped leaves that appear almost jewel-like when light passes through them.

Cathedral Window Haworthia
Haworthia cymbiformis
Haworthia cymbiformis, commonly known as Cathedral Window Haworthia, is a small, clump-forming succulent in the Asphodelaceae family native to the Eastern Cape region of South Africa. It forms low rosettes of thick, translucent-tipped leaves that resemble tiny windows, allowing light to filter into the leaf tissue for photosynthesis even when much of the plant is buried in sandy or rocky crevices in habitat. Unlike many succulents, its leaves are relatively soft and pliable rather than rigid, giving the rosette a cushion-like appearance. It slowly produces offsets around the base, eventually forming dense mounding clusters. In late spring to summer, thin wiry stalks rise above the foliage bearing small white to pale pink tubular flowers.
Zebra Plant
