HAWORTHIA AND SUCCULENT AUCTION



This blog is dedicated to plants from desert regions around the world as well as plants that have adapted to withstand arid conditions, but do not occur in real deserts. Many of the plants are found in arid semi-desert regions. There will be a greater emphasis on succulent plants, but others will also be included. This blog deals with desert plants of the Americas, Africa, Arabia and others. We are situated in South Africa and South African plants are likely to feature more dominantly. The pictures taken are from our private botanical desert garden at Leopoort near Oudtshoorn, from plants in nature, as well as other collections.

Haworthias decipiens has a fairly large distribution in the semi- desert southern Great Karoo. The plants occur around Prince Albert, south of Willowmore and also in the Steytlerville area. Like so many other Haworthia species, Haworthia decipiens prefers to grow under the shelter of bushes.

The plants have been found in numerous different habitats. A southern shady inclination is normally preferred.

Haworthias decipiens can fairly easily be grown from seed. Growth is very slow and the plants have to be kept in a protected green house.
