Haworthiopsis coarctata var. coarctata syn. Haworthia coarctata, Haworthia resendeana

This plant has recently changed to alternative genus Haworthiopsis (previously Haworthia). Haworthiopsis generally resemble miniature aloes, except in their flowers. They are popular garden and container plants. The plants can grow solitary or can be clump-forming. Their flowers are small, white and very similar between species. But their leaves show wide variations. Haworthiopsis coarctata var. coarctata has small and rounded tubercles on its leaves and needs a little more water than most other succulents but must be well drained. This is one of the hardiest Haworthiopsis for the garden. Haworthiopsis coarctata var. coarctata grows in large clumps in its natural habitat, with long stems packed with robust succulent leaves. It is normally dark green but sometimes acquires a rich purple-red when in full sunlight.
