Botanical name: Haworthiopsis limifolia Family: Asphodelaceae (Aloe family)
Synonyms: Haworthia limifolia
Synonyms: Haworthia limifolia
Fairies Washboard Haworthia is a robust plant, with
larger rosettes - which grow to about 5 inches across, with broadly
triangular leaves arranged in a pinwheel-like rosette. The leaves bear
series of distinctive, pronounced ridges, which accounts for both its
common name "Fairies Washboard". This plant grows rather quickly, so
that in about 3-4 years, a single rosette will produce enough offsets
to densely pack a 12 inch bowl. Flowers are small, white and
bell-shaped on long stems. The species and its varieties have a rather
wide distribution - they are native to Mozambique, Swaziland, and South
Africa, with a number of recognized varieties and regional forms.
