Tulista minor

A small, rosette-forming haworthioid with rough, white-tubercled dark leaves, from the Overberg lowlands of the southern Western Cape. It grows in renosterveld among grasses and shrubs, so it likes bright but not scorching light, mild temperatures and rain spread fairly evenly through the year.

Where it grows wild

Renosterveld and grassy fynbos on shale or limestone flats and low hills, partly sheltered by grasses and low shrubs.
