Haworthia cooperii var. obtusa – Crystal Haworthia, Window Haworthia

Haworthia cooperii var. obtusa is one of the most beautiful and collectible Haworthia species, admired for its fleshy, rounded leaves with transparent “windowed” tips. These translucent leaf tips allow sunlight to penetrate deep into the plant, creating a luminous, crystal-like effect that makes it look almost otherworldly.

The plant forms neat, symmetrical rosettes of soft green leaves that appear to glow when exposed to bright indirect light. As it matures, it produces offsets around the base, gradually forming attractive clusters that enhance its ornamental appeal.

Native to South Africa, Haworthia cooperii var. obtusa is naturally adapted to dry conditions and thrives indoors with minimal care. Its compact size makes it ideal for small spaces, while its gemstone-like appearance makes it a prized specimen in any succulent collection.
