Haworthia mucronata (Succulents)

A small, light green, rosette-shaped succulent plant that does not exceed 12 cm in diameter. It has fleshy cylindrical and slightly flattened leaves with a very prominent tip, hence the name of the species (from the Latin “mucronata” actually means “pointed”). Initially the leaves are erect, then slightly curved, but the distinguishing feature of this species are the translucent borders that stand out from the bright green of the plant. Depending on the place of origin, this plant may also have whitish bristles on the edges of the foliage. In spring it produces a long stalk on which white flowers with greyish-green keels bloom.
