Habilidades especiales

Haworthia has translucent leaf tips, called 'windows,' that let sunlight deep inside its leaves to help it photosynthesize.

Haworthia can store large amounts of water in its thick, fleshy leaves to survive long periods of drought in dry habitats.

Some Haworthia species blend perfectly with surrounding rocks and pebbles, helping them hide from thirsty animals.
