I don't fully trust the nursery labels; I've seen some blatant mislabelings, especially where giving a plant the label of a rarer species can increase the selling price! I would really need a botanist who's worked with both species (which look quite similar) to see it. I guess until then, we'll just have to call it an either/or!

It's doubled in size and seems very happy on a sand dune. I've never seen another for sale anywhere here. Most Haworthias I see are the Haworthia cooperi. I'd love to grow a truncata, I'm always on the lookout. And thanks for the compliment on the pot!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12888328097434089820noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9207856767845378292.post-37304591118493181352013-10-15T22:12:04.979-07:002013-10-15T22:12:04.979-07:00Very nice Marla.

Right now all of my Haworthia truncata plants are in flower and I should be doing a bit of pollinating, but I've been busy with other things. I posted a pix of one of my H. truncata plants along with a pile of fruits and seeds on my blog back in May. http://bit.ly/1fBzq9U I've enjoy growing haworthias from seed but the seedlings are very slow. I don't have a plant of H. 'Marxii' but I might have to get me one. Nice looking pot too! :-)Bobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13557615556014224724noreply@blogger.com
