Name: Horse’s Teeth
Scientific Name: Haworthia maughanii x truncata Hybrid
Family: Asphodelaceae
Product Description:
Haworthia maughanii x truncata is a fascinating succulent hybrid that combines the unique characteristics of its parent species, Haworthia maughanii and Haworthia truncata. This hybrid typically grows in small rosettes with thick, fleshy leaves that are either truncated or rounded at the tips. The leaves often have translucent "windows" at the tips, which help maximize light absorption for photosynthesis. It can reach a height of 5 to 10 cm (2 to 4 inches) and a similar diameter. The leaves are arranged in a tight, compact form and can vary in color from green to blue-green. They may have rough, warty textures depending on the specific cross. In spring or early summer, it produces slender inflorescences bearing small, white to pale pink tubular flowers. Both parent species are native to South Africa, typically growing in semi-arid regions with rocky, well-drained soils. They thrive in environments with hot summers, mild winters, and occasional frost. The hybrid shares these adaptations, making it suitable for similar environments.

Growing Instructions:
Prefers bright, indirect light. Direct sunlight, especially during midday, can cause leaf burn. An east or west-facing window with filtered sunlight is ideal. Requires well-draining succulent mix. A commercial succulent soil or a mix of regular potting soil with perlite, pumice, or coarse sand is recommended. Water thoroughly in spring and fall when growth is most active, and less in winter. Allow the top of the soil to dry out before watering again. Likes warmer temperatures in summer and cool in winter. Can withstand temperatures as low as 30°F (-1.1°C). USDA zones 10a to 11b (30°F to 50°F). Strong, drought-tolerant roots grow well with great drainage and infrequent watering.
Ships in 3.5" pots. You will receive a plant similar to the ones pictured, though size and fullness may vary. Please understand that shipped plants have bumpy rides. A few broken leaves or small stems are normal during shipping and are not considered damage. Broken stems can be rooted once the cut end dries to start new growth. Plants may arrive semi‑dormant, and in winter they may naturally drop a few leaves. If your plant arrives rotting or dead, we will replace it. Please contact us with photo proof within 24 hours of delivery. After 24 hours, plant care becomes the buyer’s responsibility, though we’re always happy to answer questions and help you succeed. We also add brief instructions on getting started when you open your box. We want our plant babies to have happy new homes! 🥰
Heat packs are available to purchase in our shop for cold-sensitive plants. Keep in mind some plants we carry are very tropical and even cold, not freezing, temperatures can kill them. 📌IF YOU EXPECT COLD WEATHER, PLEASE PURCHASE A HEAT PACK! 📌 These are necessary for winter shipping, so I sell them at cost. I won't refund or replace any frozen plants unless you buy one!
