Haworthia cymbiformis

Also known as the Cathedral Window Haworthia,

Haworthia cymbiformis is a compact, clump-forming succulent with fleshy, boat-shaped leaves arranged in loose rosettes. Foliage is translucent green with windowed tips that allow light to penetrate deeper into the leaf — a trait adapted for low-light environments. This species is native to the Eastern Cape of South Africa and is well-suited to indoor cultivation, shaded patios, or filtered light positions. Mature rosettes typically reach 6–8 cm in diameter. 

• Position: Prefers bright, indirect light. In southern climates, morning sun or filtered light is ideal; in northern regions, protect from intense afternoon exposure.

• Watering: Water moderately. Allow potting mix to dry out between applications. During active growth (spring–autumn), water every 10–14 days; reduce in winter.

• Soil: Requires free-draining succulent or cactus mix. Avoid moisture-retentive substrates and ensure good airflow around the base.

• Climate Suitability: Performs best in frost-free environments. Tolerates mild humidity but should be protected from prolonged wet conditions. Ideal for indoor or sheltered outdoor settings.

• Maintenance: Remove spent leaves to prevent rot. Repot every 1–2 years to refresh soil and encourage offsetting.

Plants for sale are shown in a 7cm pot. The images will show the same or similar plant to the one sent to you.

Succulent colours can change due to the time of year, environment, or growing conditions.

Please Note:

Plants are sent bare rooted. A snazzy way of saying it will arrive with minimal or no soil or pot.

Succulents need to travel with the least moisture as possible due to potential problems, such as rotting. This means they are taken out of their pots and their roots are allowed to dry out before sending. As a result, plants may arrive looking slightly different to photos. Some maybe a little dry looking or slightly wrinkled leaves for example, remember succulents are hardy and will bounce back with a little TLC. TLC instructions will be within your order.
