Stenocactus multicostatus

Haworthia retusa Variegated

A beautiful and highly desirable form of the South African Haworthia retusa. It forms compact rosettes of thick, triangular leaves with characteristic translucent “windows”. The variegated form develops striking cream, yellow or white markings mixed with green, making every plant unique.

🌱 Care: Bright filtered light or approximately 50–60% shade; avoid harsh midday sun, especially on the pale variegated sections. Use a very well-draining mineral-rich succulent mix and allow it to dry between waterings.

✨ Interesting fact: The transparent leaf windows allow light to penetrate into the leaf—an adaptation associated with Haworthias that grow partly recessed into the soil.

⭐ A must-have for Haworthia collectors, particularly specimens showing strong, balanced variegation.

Agave titanota ‘SAD’ is a striking and highly desirable collector’s Agave, admired for its bold architectural appearance, thick fleshy leaves, and impressive marginal teeth.

This distinctive selection develops a compact, powerful rosette with broad, rigid leaves and prominent, sharply pointed spines along the leaf margins. The contrasting leaf colour and dramatic teeth give the plant a rugged, sculptural appearance, making it a standout specimen in any specialist succulent collection.

With sufficient light and suitable growing conditions, the plant develops a strong, compact growth habit and increasingly impressive leaf structure as it matures.

Growing Conditions:

• Light: Bright light with morning sun. Gradually acclimatise to stronger sunlight.
• Water: Water thoroughly during active growth, allowing the soil to dry completely between waterings.
• Soil: Very well-draining, mineral-rich cactus and succulent mix.
• Growth: Slow-growing, forming a compact, symmetrical rosette.
• Propagation: Primarily through offsets, when produced, to maintain the selected characteristics.
• Care: Protect from prolonged excessive moisture, severe frost, and sudden exposure to intense sunlight.
