  •   Haworthia cooperi var. truncata 'Alien Eggs' is a rare haworthia cultivar from the Eastern Cape of South Africa, where it grows tucked into rocky, shaded soil. This translucent succulent belongs to the Asphodelaceae family and has become a prized find among collectors worldwide.

      The leaves of Haworthia cooperi var. truncata 'Alien Eggs' are compact, plump, and nearly flat-topped, with glassy green window tips that glow when backlit. Each rosette clusters tightly with offsets over time, building into a lush cushion of alien egg-like domes that give this alien egg plant its unforgettable name.

This pet-safe, rare haworthia cultivar is a genuine conversation piece that rewards collectors with slow, satisfying growth.

    🌵 For Succulents
    When your package arrives, you may notice a bit of loose soil in the box. This is completely normal during shipping.
    Please remove your plants from their packaging right away and follow the care instructions included with your order. Succulents prefer to dry out between waterings, so only water when the soil is completely dry.
    Succulents are resilient plants and typically recover quickly once they settle into their new environment. Give them a few days to adjust before placing them in direct sunlight, and avoid fertilizing right away.
