Haworthia cymbiformis variegata

Haworthia cymbiformis variegata is a highly ornamental variegated selection of Haworthia cymbiformis, a compact species native to the Eastern Cape of South Africa. This cultivar is propagated for its striking but variable cream to pale-yellow variegation, making each specimen unique and particularly desirable among collectors.

Morphologically, it forms low, stemless rosettes composed of thick, fleshy, boat-shaped (cymbiform) leaves with smooth margins and translucent apical “windows.” Variegation appears as vertical sectors, marbling, or irregular striping, often differing from leaf to leaf and intensifying under bright, filtered light. Mature rosettes typically reach 8–12 cm in diameter and may slowly offset to form small clusters.

In spring to early summer, slender inflorescences rise above the foliage bearing small, tubular white flowers with subtle green or brown veining. Best cultivated in bright, indirect light and sharply drained substrates, this cultivar is ideally suited to container growing and curated succulent collections.
