Haworthia pumila

The seed for these plants was collected by David Martin at Mower's Station in South Africa. Beautiful plants, often not represented in personal collections. Like many haworthias, it's not at all difficult to grow, but it is difficult to grow well. But, of course, that's the challenge and what makes it all worth it. I'm not interested in collecting one of each species for the sake of having a large collection. Having a few plants which I really like, nicely grown, is much more interesting.

Haworthia pumila

This is a seed grown specimen of Haworthia pumila, the seed collected at Mower's Station. It becomes more impressive the older it gets.

I probably won't be able to post for a couple of weeks as we head out on a 4000+ mile road trip. We'll be visiting some friends and then going to about 12 different wholesale cactus and succulent nurseries in Arizona and California. I'll post some pictures of the trip when I get back. Until then...

Enjoy your plants!
