Haworthia retusa - The Elegant Star Cactus
Enhance your plant collection with the unique and resilient Haworthia retusa, commonly known as the Star Cactus or Window Succulent. This captivating succulent is recognized for its distinctive rosette formation and translucent leaf tips, making it a standout addition to any garden or indoor display.
Features:
- Unique Appearance: Star Cactus features thick, fleshy, triangular leaves that form a star-shaped rosette. The vibrant green leaves have translucent “windows” at the tips, allowing light to penetrate and enhance photosynthesis, giving the plant a distinctive and eye-catching look.
- Compact Growth: This succulent grows in a compact form, making it perfect for small pots, windowsills, or as part of a succulent arrangement.
- Drought Tolerant: Haworthia retusa is highly drought-tolerant, requiring minimal watering and allowing the soil to dry out completely between waterings, making it a low-maintenance choice for gardeners.
- Versatile Decor: Ideal for container gardens, succulent arrangements, or as a decorative accent on windowsills, Star Cactus adds a touch of elegance and intrigue to any indoor or outdoor setting.
- Seasonal Blooms: During the growing season, Haworthia retusa may produce tall, slender flower stalks adorned with small, white, tubular flowers, adding a delicate contrast to the robust, green rosettes.
Care Instructions:
- Light: Prefers bright, indirect sunlight but can tolerate some direct light. Avoid prolonged exposure to harsh afternoon rays.
- Water: Allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings. Water thoroughly, ensuring good drainage, and avoid letting the plant sit in water.
- Soil: Use a well-draining succulent or cactus mix to prevent root rot.
- Temperature: Thrives in temperatures between 60-75°F (15-24°C). Protect from frost and extreme heat.
- Fertilizer: Feed with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer diluted to half strength during the growing season (spring and summer).
Enhance your plant collection with the unique beauty of Haworthia retusa. Its distinctive leaf structure and vibrant, translucent tips make it a standout choice for any succulent enthusiast.
Special Note: Please be aware that succulents are fragile and may lose leaves during the shipping process. This is normal and the plant will recover with proper care.
