Haworthia angustifolia

A small clumping Haworthia from the Eastern Cape with upright, narrow, pointed leaves in rosettes about 8 cm across. It grows readily in cultivation as long as it gets bright light, a gritty mix and a cool, drier winter.

Where it grows wild

Eastern Cape Haworthias of this group grow in grassland and among low thicket, rosettes partly sheltered by grass tufts, shrubs or rocks. Specific habitat notes for this species were not found, so this is inferred from its region and genus.

No elevation data found; Eastern Cape Haworthia habitats are mostly low to mid elevation (roughly sea level to 1000 m).
