Haworthia truncata Hybrids – Sculptural Succulents with Architectural Charm

Elevate your succulent collection with the striking beauty of Haworthia truncata hybrids, known for their distinctive “truncated” leaf tips and sculptural appeal. These compact succulents are a collector’s dream, showcasing mesmerizing textures, translucent leaf windows, and a wide array of patterns thanks to generations of hybridization.

Whether you're drawn to bold symmetry or rare color variations, these hybrids offer a one-of-a-kind visual experience in a small package—ideal for windowsills, terrariums, and miniature gardens.

What Makes Them Special

Truncated Leaves:
Their flat-topped, cut-off appearance gives rise to the nickname “Horse’s Teeth,” forming tight fan-shaped rosettes that command attention.

Translucent Windows:
At the leaf tips, light-absorbing “windows” allow the plant to photosynthesize even when partially buried—an adaptation from their native South African habitat.

Diverse Forms & Patterns:
Thanks to hybridization, no two plants are alike. Expect stunning variations in color, from deep green to gray-green, and fascinating surface details like stripes, dots, or intricate markings.

Compact & Low-Maintenance:
These slow growers stay small and tidy, making them ideal for container displays, office desks, or curated succulent arrangements.

Care Guide

• Light: Bright, indirect light is ideal. Avoid intense midday sun to prevent scorching. East- or west-facing windows work best.

• Watering: Water sparingly. Let the soil dry out fully between waterings. Cut back during winter dormancy.

• Soil: Use a fast-draining succulent or cactus mix. Amend with perlite or pumice for extra aeration. Ensure containers have drainage holes.

• Temperature: Thrives in typical indoor temperatures (65–80°F / 18–27°C). Protect from frost.

• Humidity: Average indoor humidity is sufficient. Keep away from overly humid environments.

• Fertilizer: Feed lightly in spring and fall with a diluted balanced fertilizer once every 1–2 months. Avoid feeding in winter.

• Propagation: Best propagated by carefully separating offsets (pups) from the base. Leaf propagation is possible but less common.
