Description 

Haworthia picta 'Mount Everest' is an unusual and uncommon succulent with a symmetrical rosette structure and triangular, fleshy leaves. Its pale green to whitish color is speckled with unique markings that resemble fine snow or frost. With a matte finish and compact size, this plant is perfect for collectors and small spaces such as windowsills or terrariums.

Environment

Full sun to filtered shade. Average Water Needs; Water regularly; do not over water.

As with all succulents, the most dangerous situation is too much water- they should never be allowed to sit in water under any circumstances. Haworthias will survive on less light than many other succulents, however, in order to produce their colorful foliage, they need some sun.

These decorative little plants can be grown in interesting containers such as tea cups and even miniature baby shoes. Make sure the container had adequate drainage. If it doesn't, it might be a good idea to pop the plant out of its container and add a layer of gravel to the bottom to reduce the wicking action of the soil above.

Landscape Use

Suitable for Container, Rock Garden & Xeriscaping
