Serious advice needed!

Post by kirstyb »

I was told this was a Haworthia retusa?
It's being used as a companion plant for a sculpted pot. Please help, as i'm not sure what it is anymore, and it would be really embarrassing to name it improperly!
Please help?

Your plant looks more like an H. cymbiformis?

The first thing I thought when I saw it was Haworthia cymbiformis, as I had been watering it just before that. Good to know that Tony agrees.
Obsessive Crassulaceae lover, especially Aeoniums but also grow, Aloes, Agaves, Haworthias and a select number of Cacti.

Late to the party, but this is Haworthia cuspidata, a cymbiformis hybrid.
