  •   Haworthia retusa White Ghost is a rare variegated succulent belonging to the Asphodelaceae family, native to the Eastern Cape province of South Africa. In its natural habitat it grows in rocky, semi-arid terrain, sheltering under shrubs and stones in filtered light. This low maintenance succulent has earned serious collector status, and genuine Haworthia retusa White Ghost plants are not easy to come by.

      Haworthia retusa White Ghost forms a compact rosette of plump, triangular leaves that are heavily variegated in soft gray, white, and pale green, giving the plant its ghostly, luminous appearance. The leaf tips are flat and translucent, known as "windows," which allow light to reach internal tissue, a hallmark of the retusa group. The clumping growth habit means a single plant gradually produces offsets, creating a fuller, more striking display over time.

      Haworthia retusa White Ghost produces slender raceme-style flower stalks in spring or summer, bearing small tubular white blooms with subtle greenish veining. Flowers are not fragrant but are a charming bonus on a healthy, mature plant. A slight drop in nighttime temperatures during late winter can encourage Haworthia retusa White Ghost to initiate its bloom cycle.

      Haworthia retusa White Ghost is an excellent choice for terrariums, bright office desks, and windowsill collections, and it even thrives under standard office LED lighting. Because of its rosette structure, rotating the pot occasionally promotes even, symmetrical growth. This plant is pet friendly, and while its sap can cause mild skin or paw irritation on contact, it is not toxic if nibbled. One of the most practical perks: Haworthia retusa White Ghost survives up to 10 days alone without watering, making it a stress-free travel companion.

  •   Haworthia retusa White Ghost thrives in medium to bright indirect light or partial sun, and scorches easily in south-facing windows with intense direct sun.

      Water Haworthia retusa White Ghost every 2 to 3 weeks in spring and summer, reducing to once a month or less in winter.

      Haworthia retusa White Ghost performs best in a well-draining succulent or cactus mix blended with extra perlite to prevent root rot.

      Haworthia retusa White Ghost prefers temperatures between 65 and 85°F (18 to 29°C) and should be brought indoors before temperatures drop below 40°F (4°C).

      Haworthia retusa White Ghost is a slow grower that needs only light feeding, with a diluted balanced fertilizer applied once or twice during the active growing season.

      Haworthia retusa White Ghost is rated for USDA hardiness zones 9 through 11, tolerating brief dips to around 25 to 30°F (-4 to -1°C) but performing best with frost-free winters. Gardeners growing Haworthia retusa White Ghost outdoors year-round will find ideal conditions across much of California, Texas, Arizona, Florida, Hawaii, Louisiana, Georgia, South Carolina, Alabama, Mississippi, and Nevada. Warmer pockets of Oregon, coastal regions of North Carolina, and parts of New Mexico also fall within these zones, giving collectors across the sunbelt reliable outdoor success with this rare variegated succulent.

    🌵 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.
