Haworthia truncata (Horse’s Teeth / Perdetande)

A truly unusual and eye-catching succulent, Haworthia truncata is known for its distinctive, flat-topped leaves that look as if they’ve been neatly cut off. These thick, upright leaves grow in opposite rows, forming a fan-like arrangement with translucent “windows” at the tips—allowing light to reach deep into the plant.

Its geometric form and subtle patterns make it a standout in any collection, especially for those who appreciate rare and architectural plants. Easy to care for, it thrives in bright, indirect light with minimal watering.

Interesting fact:
The unique “windowed” leaf tips of Haworthia truncata are an adaptation that allows the plant to stay mostly buried in the soil in its natural habitat, protecting it from harsh sun while still capturing light.
