The Cactiguide Haworthia Thread

[KittieKAT]

Haworthias always look so squishy to me, but i don't really own any to test the theory lol!
Are those jadia leaves squishy or hard CandDplants?

[C And D]

They're not squishy, they're quite firm

There are many squishy mesembs, no Haworthia would be considered squishy in my opinion.

I have only one Haworthia plant in Melbourne , but I have more growing in tropical Malaysia , Kuala Lumpur. Haworthia reinwardtii or Haw coarctata , not sure which is which. H.L.

Good morning H.L.,

the left plant should be Haworthia coarctata fa. greenii.
The plant on the right should be haworthia reinwardtii.

I usually don't grow leafy Haworthias, but someone gave me these, and she got them from Ann Shein.

Some of my new hybrids

"Downtown Compton"
I was considering calling it "Super Comptonii", but I didn't think it merits that name, it will need better lines to be called Super

The Hawortias are looking their best this time of year

Here are some true species

H. bayeri
This one is from seed planted in 2007

My select forms of H. pygmaea splendens

IMG_9337.jpg (108.27 KiB) Viewed 7590 times

Seedling of H. sordida
very slow and hard to keep alive the first year

IMG_9261.jpg (53.56 KiB) Viewed 7590 times

I replanted my giant H. truncata "Lime Green" into a Super Sweet Erica Pot that's wide and shallow
It's filling it out nicely

Now for some hybrids

This is a well known Japanese hybrid, Kintaikyo
I always wanted on, my friend Kris Tamayo gave it to me.

H. bayeri hybrid

IMG_9352.jpg (86.96 KiB) Viewed 7585 times

Another H. bayeri hybrid of mine
I can't get a good photo of it yet, it's giant, has giant windows and look like chunks of glass

IMG_9359.jpg (85.26 KiB) Viewed 7585 times

Another H. bayeri hybrid that has a lite texture

IMG_9363.jpg (76.35 KiB) Viewed 7585 times

I took photos of this plant before, I suggested the name "Super Comptonii" but it hasn't lived up to it yet.
It's another one that's hard to photograph, too shiny and reflective
I think it has some H. badia in it.
