Botanical Name: Haworthia cooperi
Common Names: Cooper’s Haworthia, Window Haworthia, Crystal Haworthia, Cushion Aloe (trade name)

📌 Product Description

Haworthia cooperi is a compact, indigenous South African succulent prized for its soft, fleshy leaves with translucent “window” tips that allow light to penetrate deep into the rosette. These crystal-like leaf ends give the plant a glowing, jewel appearance, making it a standout choice for modern interiors, desk displays, and succulent collections.

Its slow-growing, clumping habit makes it ideal for small decorative pots and minimalist plant styling. Exceptionally low-maintenance and drought-tolerant, this hardy succulent is perfect for both beginner plant owners and collectors looking for something distinctive yet easy to grow.

A beautiful, architectural plant perfectly suited to contemporary South African homes.
