Haworthia truncata is a small succulent plant, typically grown as a houseplant. It has fascinating, rectangular, fleshy leaves in grey-green, which are held in an upright position and arranged in opposite rows. The end of each leaf has scar-like markings and ridges, which look a little like the plant has been cut (or truncated), hence ‘truncata’. Insignificant, white flowers appear in summer.
No more difficult to raise than Aloe vera, grow Haworthia truncata in well-drained soil or cactus compost, on a light, airy windowsill, ideally out of direct sunlight. Water sparingly in summer, allowing the compost to fully dry out between watering. Reduce watering to every other month in winter.
