A compact, slow-growing succulent with striking triangular leaves arranged in rosettes, Haworthia pentagona is a collector’s gem. While it occasionally produces delicate white flowers in Cape Town’s spring to early summer (September to November), its real charm lies in the bold geometric foliage. Perfect for indoor displays, windowsills, or mixed succulent arrangements, it thrives in semi-shade and bright indirect light. Bring home the Pentagona Succulent for a touch of sculptural elegance in your living space.
Plant in well-draining succulent soil and place in semi-shade or bright indirect light. Water sparingly, allowing soil to dry between watering, and reduce watering during Cape Town’s cooler winter months. Avoid direct harsh sun to prevent leaf scorch. Repot every few years to refresh soil and encourage healthy growth.
Haworthias are native to South Africa and prized worldwide for their architectural foliage. Pentagona’s triangular leaves set it apart, making it a favourite among collectors.
Haworthia pentagona is non-toxic to humans and pets, making it a safe choice for households and indoor gardens.
