Regular price $4.15Star Haworthia: Windowed Leaves in a Compact Rosette
Haworthia retusa f. geraldii 'Star Cactus' forms a low rosette of thick green leaves. Despite the common name, it is a Haworthia succulent rather than a true cactus.
- ⭐ Star-like form: Triangular leaf ends give the rosette a distinctive outline.
- 🔎 Leaf windows: Translucent areas near the leaf tips allow light into the leaves.
- 🌱 Offsets: Small rosettes can develop around the parent plant.
Choose this Haworthia for a bright windowsill with protection from harsh direct sun.
Care Tips
Light: Give bright indirect light or mild morning sun. Avoid intense afternoon sun.
Water: Water thoroughly when the soil has dried, then let excess water drain. Reduce watering during cool weather or slow growth.
Soil: Use a gritty, fast-draining succulent mix in a pot with drainage holes.
Temperature: Protect from frost and freezing weather; bring containers under cover before cold conditions arrive.

Care Instructions
Please visit our Succulent Care info page for more details.
To ensure the health of succulents, it is important to plant them in porous, well-draining soil. Succulents require little watering, but don't like to sit in wet soil. To create an adequate cactus mix, simply add pumice, perlite, or grit to cactus soil to provide the proper drainage.
Allow the soil to dry to the level recommended in the Care Tips above before watering again. Always drain excess water.
Weather Conditions
- When ordering, be mindful that living succulents can be damaged by the cold weather.
- If you live in an area that is below 40°F, please add a shipping warmer to your order or consider purchasing plant until the weather is more suitable.
