difficulties in IDing haworthias

Post by Mike »

Hi

BEsides the fact that so many Haworthias look similar, there is the problem that they can be grown very differently with different looks. I have had quite a few change over the years since I got them, but none has changed as amazingly as this one.

I got it in 2008.

I guess that's why there are 100 kinds of ice cream - I prefer the green of the first picture. Some people like a bronze look but if it was mine, it would go back in the shade. I'd be more worried about it thriving than an exact name. Just my 2 cents. Sue

yes, you are right, folks like them very different. I like it now, and with two health offsets am not too worried about it thriving!
