What is Haworthia 'Hanakagami'

Haworthia 'Hanakagami' (scientific name: Haworthia turgida 'Hanakagami') is a cultivar of Haworthia, a small succulent plant native to South Africa. As a charming "living piece of art," it is also affectionately called a "jewel plant."

Haworthia grows in a rosette pattern close to the ground and thrives during spring and autumn. The genus Haworthia is divided into two types: "soft-leaf" and "hard-leaf" varieties.

'Hanakagami' belongs to the "soft-leaf" type. Its triangular leaves have a slightly pointed tip, and the semi-transparent foliage features pale green "windows" with white veins near the tips. The edges of the leaves are smooth and hairless.

Origin of the Name Haworthia
The genus name "Haworthia" honors Adrian H. Haworth (1768–1833), a British botanist and specialist in succulent plants.
