Haworthia 'Big Band'
fairies washboard
A delightful succulent which is a close relative of the aloe plant, with distinctive green fleshy leaves, etched with strong white lines growing as a rosette. The leaves have pronounced ridges running across them, hence the rather lovely common name 'fairies washboard'.
This is a great beginners plant that won't take up much space. Although they can have small white flowers held above tall wiry stems, it is the beautiful leaves that it is grown for.

How to care for Haworthia Big Band:
Place your Haworthia in a bright spot with plenty of indirect sunlight – a sunny windowsill is ideal. Use a free-draining cactus or succulent compost and ensure the pot has good drainage to prevent root rot.
Water only when the top few centimetres of compost feel dry, and allow any excess to drain away. In winter, reduce watering to a minimum. Avoid letting the plant sit in water and rotate it occasionally for even growth.
