Description

Haworthia mutica is one of the retuse-leaved haworthias, with compact flattened rosettes of prominently windowed leaves. It is mainly a non-proliferous species that do not offsets or offsets slowly, but most of the plants in cultivation derives from very prolific clones and form soon dense clumps. It is a variable species sometimes difficult to distinguish from to Haworthia retusa and Haworthia pygmaea.
Leaves: Thick geometric, truncated and triangular at apex, glaucous grey-green or glossy dark green with a characteristic bluish-brown colouration, often developing purplish cloudiness and striped in subtle shades of green. The tips are transparent and act like windows, allowing sun to enter inside of the leaf for chlorophyll processing.
Flowers: Small, two-lipped, greenish-white with pale purplish veins.
Blooming season: Mainly in Summer but it may flowers in any favourable season.
