## Product Details

Haworthiopsis coarctata is known for its upright, closely layered rosettes and textured leaves. The leaves store water, helping the plant tolerate dry periods. Place it in a bright spot with indirect light or partial shade, and protect it from harsh afternoon sun.

Plant it in a free-draining cactus mix in a pot with drainage holes. Water thoroughly, then allow the soil to dry completely before watering again. With time, the plant may produce offsets around its base and grow into a small cluster.
