🌿 PLANT SPOTLIGHT | No. 002
Haworthia Cooperi Variegata | Asphodelaceae
Tiny glass bubbles masquerading as a succulent? Yes, please! 🫧💎
Native to South Africa’s Eastern Cape, these little jewels have translucent leaf windows. Nature’s very own tiny skylights!
I learned about these beauties online and was instantly smitten. Naturally, as soon as I spotted one in the wild (local garden nursery) I brought home two! 😂
One joined my succulent garden, while the other settled beside my terrarium and surprised me with a flower stalk! 🌸
🌱 Current Growing Conditions:
☀️ East-facing window + indirect Barrina T5 lighting (12 hrs/day)
💦 55% ambient humidity
🌡️ 21°C, with cooler nights around 18–19°C
🪴 Original nursery substrate
💧 Bottom watering as needed, once the substrate dries sufficiently
Still getting acquainted, but she’s seemingly quite content without tropical heat or humidity!
And now I’ve discovered colourful varieties like Ice Lantern. Apparently, two just aren’t enough! 💎😂
Welcome back to my weekly Plant Spotlight! Sharing the quirks, surprises, and growing experiences of the leafy characters in my collection.
No botanical degree required. Just curiosity and a whole lot of plant love! 💚
🫧 Any Haworthia lovers out there? I’d love to hear about your growing experiences!
