Han Solo is wrong! It isn't solo. Not in that pot.

Looks like retusa (ish) to me Larry, probably could do with a bit more light to get it more compact as it should be.

Hi Larry on here, I like your new signature

I seem to be collecting H.retusa forms here... It's a fascinating species, of which some forms are flatter than others. Some forms approach H.turgida, I think.... and others, H.mutica?
And hmmm, next to your Han Solo, I spy something spikey beginning with C

Haworthias can have a larger root system than the plant itself... you might want to give it a deeper pot?

H i lyndsey

Bruce Bayer in his latest revision has moved turgida as a species to retusa.
