Botanical Name:
Haworthia marumiana var. batesiana

Common Names:
Bates' Haworthia

Plant Category:
Succulent

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. The leaves are often translucent at the tips, which allows light to filter through, giving the plant a unique, almost glowing effect. 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:

• Sunlight: Prefers bright, indirect light but can tolerate a little direct sun. Too much direct sunlight can cause the plant to lose its vibrancy.
• 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.

Toxicity:
Haworthia marumiana var. batesiana is non-toxic to humans and pets, making it a safe addition to homes and gardens.
