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 erii is a mountainous Haworthia found in at least one locality between De Rust and Uniondale. Related plants occur in other areas east of De Rust.

Haworthia erii is especially attractive due to its silvery shiny translucent leaf tips..

The flowering time is in December and correlates with that of Haworthia arachnoidea and Haworthia aranea found further to the west.

The plants were described by Dr. M Hayashi.

Cultivation is not difficult, but care should be taken to prevent the base of the plant to become waterlogged. Propagation is from seed. Growth is slow.
