Haworthia Cymbiformis | Window Haworthia

Description

The Haworthia cymbiformis grows to be about 3” inches tall.

The rate at which these plants grow is influenced strongly by environmental factors such as food and water availability and the quality of the substrate.

The leaves of the plant are bulbous and fleshy and sport dark stripes running from the center of the plant to the tip of the leaves.

The succulent leaves of Haworthia cymbiformis are pale green, and the tips are translucent to allow more light into the leaves.

The specific epithet “cymbiformis” means “boat-shaped.” It derives from the Latin words “cymba,” meaning “boat” and “formis,” meaning “having the form of,” and refers to to the way the leaves curve inward and come to a point.
