Haworthia Limifolia Variegata (Washboard)

Haworthia limifolia variegata
Common Name: Variegated Washboard Plant

Haworthia limifolia variegata is a rare and visually stunning succulent known for its bold variegation and deeply textured leaves. This variety of the classic Washboard Plant features thick, triangular leaves with raised ridges running horizontally—like tiny washboards—decorated in creamy yellow and green striping that varies beautifully from plant to plant.

Native to South Africa, H. limifolia variegata is slow-growing, compact, and extremely eye-catching. Its architectural form and colorful foliage make it a standout in any collection, especially when grown in a simple pot that lets the texture and contrast shine.

☀ Light Requirements
Prefers bright, indirect light or filtered sun. Too much direct sun may scorch the lighter variegated areas. Indoors, place near a bright window; outdoors, give it morning sun and afternoon shade.

💧 Watering Needs
Water only when soil is completely dry. This drought-tolerant succulent thrives in well-draining soil and dislikes overwatering. Reduce watering in winter.

🌡 Temperature Tolerance
Hardy down to about 30°F with proper acclimation and dry conditions. Protect from frost. For winter shipping or cold zones, consider adding a [Heat Pack].

• Striking Variegation – Creamy yellow and green striping make each rosette one-of-a-kind
