Each rosette reaches about 15cm high and 15cm wide, with dark bronze-green leaves marked in crisp white, and the clump slowly spreads sideways as it makes pups. It prefers bright, filtered light to blazing sun, which makes it an easy houseplant.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy you'll love it\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMarkings that stand out.\u003c\/strong\u003e Dark bronze-green leaves spotted and banded in white give even a 15cm rosette real contrast.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEasy indoors.\u003c\/strong\u003e It is happiest in a well lit room out of hot direct sun, where many succulents sulk.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVery little water.\u003c\/strong\u003e A drink once a week through the warmer months is plenty, and it needs less again when the weather cools.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIt multiplies.\u003c\/strong\u003e The clump produces pups, so one plant becomes several to repot, swap or give away.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePet friendly.\u003c\/strong\u003e Haworthia is not considered toxic to cats or dogs, so it can sit on a low shelf.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhere it works best\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDesks, shelves and windowsills.\u003c\/strong\u003e A rosette this size sits happily in a small pot.

It likes a little more shade than most succulents, so keep it out of hot afternoon sun. Indoors, any well lit spot suits it.
