Haworthias are dainty succulent houseplants and are frequently compared and confused with Aloes, and Gasteria plants, this is hardly surprising since they're all members of the Asphodeloideae family.

However, unlike Aloes, Haworthias are almost always small and very (very) slow growing plants. They don't need much fuss or care and can even go many weeks without water if required. They also tend to look brilliant in unusual containers or interesting soil mixes.
