Haworthiopsis is a genus of small succulent perennials, including the commonly grown Sixsided Haworthia types, often in rosettes with white-marked leaves. The key to growing them is bright light without harsh direct sun and careful watering, since they store water in their leaves.

About

Haworthiopsis is a genus of succulent plants in the subfamily Asphodeloideae. The genus was previously included in Haworthia. Species in the genus are typically short perennial plants, with leaves often arranged in a rosette and frequently having raised white markings. The two-lipped flowers are borne on a tall stalk and are small – less than 17 mm (0.7 in) long – and pale in colour. Many species are cultivated as house plants or by succulent enthusiasts.
