Miami Haworthia (Haworthia limifolia var. striata), also called the fairy washboard succulent, is a rare collector succulent native to rocky, shaded hillsides in southern Africa. It belongs to the Asphodelaceae family and has earned a devoted following among plant enthusiasts worldwide for its sculptural texture and straightforward care requirements.
Haworthia Striata forms tight, symmetrical rosettes of firm, triangular dark green leaves etched with bold, raised horizontal ridges that run across each leaf like a washboard. Each rosette typically reaches 3 to 5 inches in diameter, and the clumping growth habit means one plant gradually develops into a cluster of rosettes over time.
It occasionally sends up a slender, wiry flower spike bearing small, tubular whitish blooms in warmer months, though the flowers are modest rather than showy. Haworthia Striata is non-toxic and safe for both cats and dogs, making it a pet-friendly compact rosette succulent for any household.
It grows well under office LED lighting and purifies indoor air, fitting easily on shelves, desks, and windowsills or inside a terrarium. You can leave it up to ten days without water. It separates easily at the base, producing offsets or pups that can be propagated into new plants once they develop roots. Move it outside in summer with protection from rain, and rotate it regularly so every side develops evenly.
