Haworthia Reticulata
Haworthia reticulata · Native to South Africa
A jewel-like little succulent with translucent, net-patterned leaves in a compact rosette. Tidy, indoor-friendly, and tolerant of lower light — plus pet-safe.
Available in 4½ inchCare
Light
Thrives in bright, indirect light and is more tolerant of lower light than most succulents, making it an ideal houseplant. Avoid harsh direct sun, which can scorch the leaves.
Water
Water only when the soil is completely dry. Like all haworthias, it stores water in its fleshy leaves and is very drought-tolerant. Always use a pot with good drainage to prevent root rot.
Soil & Feeding
Use a well-draining cactus or succulent soil, and fertilize lightly once a month during the spring and summer growing season.
Quick Tip
It clusters with offsets over time — leave them for a fuller pot, or divide them into new plants.
Details
This species is distinguished by its translucent, net-like (reticulate) patterning on the leaf surfaces, which gives it a delicate, jewel-like appearance. Its rosette stays compact and tidy.

Plant Bio
Haworthia reticulata · Netted Haworthia
Haworthia Reticulata is a small rosette succulent native to the Western Cape of South Africa. Haworthias are close relatives of aloes and gasterias, and they’re among the easiest, most shade-tolerant succulents to keep indoors.
Its name comes from its markings: the leaf surfaces are etched with a fine, translucent, net-like pattern (“reticulate” means net-like), giving the plant a delicate, jewel-like quality when light catches it. The leaves form a compact, tidy rosette.
It stays small and clusters into a mound of offsets over time. In its native habitat it often grows tucked among rocks, partly shaded — which is exactly why it tolerates lower indoor light so well.
Care is easy: bright indirect light, gritty soil, and water only when fully dry.
What makes it special?
- Its leaves carry a fine, translucent net pattern that glows in the light.
- It stays compact and clusters into a neat mound.
- It’s tough, shade-tolerant, and pet-friendly.
Note: Haworthias are generally considered non-toxic and pet-safe, but are grown for ornament rather than eating. Overwatering is the main thing to avoid.
