Haworthia scabra
Haworthiopsis scabra is a small, slow-growing succulent from arid South Africa, grouped into many varieties with rough or twisted leaves. It is grown mainly for its leaf shape and needs very well-drained soil, little water and shade or filtered light.
Haworthiopsis scabra, formerly Haworthia scabra, is a species of flowering succulent plant from arid regions of the Western and Eastern Cape Provinces, South Africa.
It is very slow growing and is not common in cultivation. It requires extremely well-drained soil and minimal water. They thrive in shady conditions, though some varieties such as starkiana can be adjusted gradually to full sun.
This species extends across the southern part of South Africa in the arid Little Karoo region. Here it grows on both sides of the border between the Western and Eastern Cape Provinces, from Ladismith in the West to Baviaanskloof in the East.
