Plant/Product Description:
Haworthia marumiana var. batesiana, also known as Bates' Haworthia, is a small, rosette-forming succulent that features thick, fleshy, dark green leaves arranged in a tight rosette.

This variety has a more compact growth habit compared to the regular Haworthia marumiana, making it perfect for smaller containers, succulent arrangements, or indoor gardens.
Plant Care Notes:

- Watering: Water thoroughly when the soil is dry to the touch. Allow the soil to dry completely between waterings to prevent root rot.
- Soil: Requires a well-draining succulent mix with added perlite or pumice for optimal drainage.
- Temperature: Thrives in temperatures between 70°F and 85°F (21°C to 29°C). Not frost-tolerant and should be protected from freezing temperatures.
- Dormancy: Haworthia marumiana var. batesiana is generally dormant in the summer, requiring minimal water during this period.
- Propagation: Can be propagated by offsets or leaf cuttings.
- Pests: Generally pest-resistant but may occasionally attract mealybugs or aphids.
