african pearls succulent Haworthia reinwardtii african pearls – Serres Lavoie

Haworthia reinwardtii ‘African Pearls’ is an elegant and highly decorative indoor succulent, prized for its upright stems covered in small, white, pearl-like protuberances. Its vertical habit and unique texture make it an ideal plant for succulent collections and modern spaces.

Origin: Horticultural selection derived from Haworthia reinwardtii, a species native to South Africa, adapted to arid and rocky environments.

Growth: Slow to moderate growth. It develops elongated stems composed of thick, dark green, triangular leaves marked with white tubercles arranged in rows. Over time, it can form small colonies by producing offsets at the base.

Flowers: Occasional flowering. It produces a slender flower stalk bearing small, discreet, and not very ornamental whitish to greenish flowers.

Light: Prefers bright but indirect light. It tolerates some gentle sun, but intense direct sun can burn the foliage. Good light promotes compact growth and highlights the pearled patterns.

Watering: Water only when the substrate is completely dry. It tolerates drought very well and is highly susceptible to overwatering. Space out watering further when growth slows.

Substrate: Use a very well-draining succulent potting mix, ensuring excellent root aeration and preventing any stagnant moisture.

Toxicity: Non-toxic to humans and animals.
