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 reddii


Haworthia reddii is a soft leaved succulent plant endemic to the areas of Fort Beaufort and Kingwilliamstown in the Easten Cape Province.

This species is closely related to Haworthia cymbiformis. The plants are easy to cultivate and sucker from the base producing extensive clumps.

The plants look best if they receive fairly good light and are not over watered.

Synonym: Haworthia cymbiformis var. reddii (sensu M.B. Bayer).


Haworthia reddii originating from Waterdown Dam in cultivation.
