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 viscosa var. viscosa


Haworthia viscosa var. viscosa is widely distributed over the Great Karoo, Little Karoo and Eastern Cape. There is some variation in size and leaf arrangement over the distribution area. In the Little Karoo the plants prefer to grow on shale outcroppings while in the Aberdeen area the plants also grow on plains.

Haworthia viscosa var. viscosa is easily cultivated and does not need any specialized treatment as long as the frost is not severe and the soil is well drained.
