Haworthia maughanii 'Red Mirror of Vientiane'
Haworthia maughanii 'Red Mirror of Vientiane' can flush reddish with stress around the frosted and intricately lined, truncated tips.
Description:
Haworthia maughanii (sometimes listed as a variety of H. truncata) is a distinctive succulent from the Little Karoo region of South Africa's Western Cape province with rounded to angled leaves held in a loose rosette. The tips are truncated and translucent acting as "light pipes" that allow light to enter into the leaves -- which are often half buried in sand in the wild -- for photosynthesis. 'Red Mirror of Vientiane' is a beautiful form that can flush reddish with stress all around the frosted and intricately lined, truncated tips. Easy to grow. Tolerant of lower light than other succulents and cool temperatures but best kept above freezing.
