Haworthia tortuosa
syn: Aloe pseudorigida
Description
Haworthia tortuosa is a small succulent plant native to South Africa, belonging to the Asphodelaceae family. This plant is prized for its unique, twisted leaves and attractive appearance. It forms a compact rosette of thick, elongated leaves that are often dark green and covered with small white tubercles. The leaves have a twisted, spiral growth pattern, giving it the name 'tortuosa'. It thrives in bright, indirect light and requires well-draining soil. Avoid overwatering, as it is susceptible to root rot. Propagation is easy via offsets, and you can often see new plants forming around the base. It is a great choice for adding textural variety to succulent collections.
