Hi James,
Welcome! Make sure to look up your local branch. We meet every third Wednesday of the month in Pettman House, Hanover Square, Herne Bay CT6 5NY at 7.30pm. Doors open from 7pm!
Hope to see you there next week!

One of my favourite species - great spines, colour of the plant and amazingly coloured flowers. The only regret is that the flowers are not larger.

One of my favourites Haworthias (Haworthiopsis). I have probably that many, if not more, different localities and clones. Highly unappreciated species. Good effort on keeping that many!

Lol, not to worry Mike.

Where did you get these from Mike?

So have mine! Many thanks to all who were involved!

The 1970 edition has a separate plate with A. striatula, but in black and white. I would be surprised, if previous editions had different plates in colour, but you never know.

Hi, In my experience these are very tolerant plants. You can carry on giving them water all year round, as long as you keep them in a reasonable warmth - I am mean frost free plus few degrees on a top of that. Or on a window sill, where they will be very happy as well. In nature they tend to grow in...

Mike, if you are serious about binning it, I am happy to give it a home. And if you are after the true A. haworthioides, I could check if my plant has got any big enough offsets I could removed.

No eating here! The plant does not want to branch much for me, so it does not look like there will be any cuttings taken anytime soon.

Oh, no you don't!
