Haworthia cooperi

Scientific name

Haworthia cooperi

General description

Haworthia cooperi is a small succulent remarkable for its translucent, fleshy leaves that form a compact rosette. The "windows" at the tips of the leaves allow light to penetrate, giving it a glossy, almost gel-like appearance. Its small size and delicate appearance make it an ideal plant for small spaces and succulent collections.

Origin

Native to the semi-arid regions of South Africa, where it grows in partial shade under rocks or bushes.
