Haworthiopsis × ‘Viscosa x Tortuosa’

Haworthiopsis × ‘Viscosa x Tortuosa’ is a captivating hybrid succulent in the Asphodelaceae family, renowned for its distinctive spiraling rosette of triangular, pointed leaves that twist elegantly around the stem, evoking a sculptural form. Believed to originate from a cross involving Haworthiopsis viscosa—a sticky, clumping species native to South Africa’s Cape Province—and elements contributing to its tortuous growth, this cultivar exhibits variable dark green foliage that can develop striking lime green patterns. Thriving in bright, indirect light to promote compact, colorful growth while tolerating some shade, it prefers well-draining soil, moderate watering to avoid root rot, and temperatures between 2–30°C, making it ideal for indoor pots or terrariums. As a low-maintenance, proliferous plant, it offsets readily to form clusters, blooming with slender, white tubular flowers on tall spikes in summer, adding to its appeal for succulent enthusiasts seeking unique textures and easy propagation via leaf cuttings or divisions.
