Haworthia cymbiformis f. variegata
This stemless, evergreen succulent is also known as "Cathedral Window Haworthia" for its glassy leaves. Variegation appears in light-green and white stripes. White to very pale pink flowers bloom up to 8 inches tall.
It is relatively slow growing and thus an excellent houseplant, happy in a variety of containers so long as there is drainage of some kind. It won't grow taller than 3 - 5 inches but do spread via small clusters.

Shipping Notes
Haworthias are a group of small succulents native to South Africa, where they grow in rocky, shaded areas and often tuck themselves into crevices or under shrubs. Most form low, compact rosettes and grow slowly, making them well suited to pots and small spaces.
Leaf shape and texture vary across the genus—from firm and spiky to soft and translucent. Many species have “windows” at the tips of their leaves—clear or translucent areas that let light into the interior of the leaf. This adaptation helps them photosynthesize while staying partly buried or shaded in their native habitat.
Some haworthias stay solitary, while others offset freely and form clumps over time. They do best in bright, indirect light and need a well-draining soil mix. Water thoroughly when dry, and go lighter in winter. Their natural ability to handle low water and filtered light makes them easy to grow indoors, especially on windowsills or under lights.
Because of their variation in form and texture, they’re a favorite among collectors—especially for growers who like compact plants with subtle detail.
