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.

Haworthia bruynsii

Haworthia bruynsii is a rare Haworthia from the Steytlerville area. Superficially the plants look similar to some other Haworthia, e.g. Haworthia bayeri.

There are however notable differences in especially the flowers and roots of the plants, which necessitates it being kept a unique species. Haworthia bruynsii is rather difficult to cultivate and requires careful watering and good drainage of the soil.

The flowers are similar to others in the genus.
