Description

Haworthia Mutica 'Midnight Sun' is one of the retuse-leaved haworthias, with compact flattened rosettes of prominently windowed leaves. It is mainly a non-proliferous species that do not offsets or offsets slowly, but most of the plants in cultivation derives from very prolific clones and form soon dense clumps. 
It has star-like rosettes of chunky, green leaves, each topped by especially frosty "windows". The tips are transparent and act like windows, allowing sun to enter inside of the leaf for chlorophyll processing.
Flowers are small, two-lipped, greenish-white with pale purplish veins. It blooms mainly in Summer but it may flowers in any favourable season.

Environment

Full sun to filtered shade. Average Water Needs; Water regularly; do not over water.

As with all succulents, the most dangerous situation is too much water- they should never be allowed to sit in water under any circumstances. Haworthias will survive on less light than many other succulents, however, in order to produce their colorful foliage, they need some sun.

These decorative little plants can be grown in interesting containers such as tea cups and even miniature baby shoes. Make sure the container had adequate drainage. If it doesn t, it might be a good idea to pop the plant out of its container and add a layer of gravel to the bottom to reduce the wicking action of the soil above.
