  •   Haworthia Cooperi Var. Retusa is a compact succulent in the Asphodelaceae family, native to the Eastern Cape of South Africa where it grows tucked into rocky, semi-arid soils. Also called the star window plant, this rare translucent succulent is popular among collectors worldwide and suitable for beginners.

      Haworthia Retusa forms tight, upright rosettes of plump, triangular leaves that taper to a flattened, translucent tip. Those glassy, windowed leaf tops allow light to filter into the leaf interior, setting it apart from other Haworthia varieties. The leaves are soft green, sometimes flushed with blue or purple tones, and remain compact at just 3–4 inches across.

      It may produce slender flower stalks bearing small, tubular white to pale pink blooms, usually in spring or early summer. A cool nighttime temperature drop can encourage reblooming. Beyond flowers, this plant releases oxygen at night.

      Use Haworthia Retusa in terrariums, desk displays, and succulent gift arrangements. Move it outside for summer enjoyment but provide shelter from rain and harsh afternoon light. You can leave it up to ten days without water. The plant communicates thirst through slight leaf wrinkling or wilting. It is pet-safe around cats and dogs.

  •   Haworthia Cooperi Var. Retusa grows well in bright indirect light and performs under standard office LEDs.

      Water it every 2–3 weeks in summer and reduce to once a month in winter.

      Haworthia Retusa does best in a fast-draining succulent mix blended with extra perlite or coarse grit.

      It prefers temperatures between 65–80°F and should be kept above 40°F.

      Haworthia Retusa is a slow grower that benefits from a diluted balanced fertilizer applied once in spring and once in summer.

      It is hardy in USDA zones 9–11 and needs protection once temperatures approach 40°F. It grows outdoors in California, Arizona, Nevada, Texas, Florida, Hawaii, Louisiana, Georgia, South Carolina, Alabama, and Mississippi. It also performs well along the Oregon coast, in sheltered parts of New Mexico, and across much of the Gulf Coast where winters stay mild.
  • Q: Is Haworthia Cooperi Var. Retusa safe for cats and dogs?
    A: It is non-toxic and safe around both cats and dogs.

    Q: What happens if this plant gets too much direct sun?
    A: Haworthia Cooperi Var. Retusa's translucent leaves can scorch in direct sun, so keep it away from south-facing windows and provide bright indirect light instead.

    Q: How fast does Haworthia Retusa grow?
    A: It grows slowly, which makes it especially valued by collectors. Rotate the pot regularly so all sides receive even light.

    Q: Can this plant survive without water for an extended period?
    A: Haworthia Retusa tolerates being left unwatered for longer periods than most succulents, making it suitable for travel or busy schedules.

    Q: Is Haworthia Retusa suitable for terrarium growing?
    A: Yes, its compact upright growth works well in terrariums. Just ensure good airflow and avoid placing it near AC vents or heating units.

    Q: Can this plant be moved outside during warmer months?
    A: Haworthia Retusa enjoys spending summer outdoors in a bright, sheltered spot, but always provide cover from rain and bring it back inside before temperatures drop below 40°F.

    🌵 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.
