Aloe haworthioides var. haworthioides


This attractive miniature Aloe is quite convincing as a Haworthia. I purchased this Aloe two years ago and is quite the good bloomer, as you can see it has two flower spikes at this time. The inside of the leaves are maroonish and the outside is rich green. Love the furry teeth it has like delicate filigree, not to worry about being hurt with this plant. Native to Madagascar, it forms a miniature rosette with slender 3" leaves. Rosette to 3" in diameter with numerous offsets. Small pinkish flowers on a tall spike. I have moved it inside the house to enjoy the flowers when they open. The pot size is 3".
