Haworthia cooperi...?

Post by nachtkrabb »

Hi folks,
in the course of my reorganisation & rechecking, I came to these plants. I got them loads of years ago (legally!) from the Sukkulentensammlung Zürich / Succulent Collection, Zurich. The plants had too much heat for a while, so I replaced them this hot summer. Now they have started to regrow -- and I ask myself, if the 2nd pot really holds cutlings of the plant in the 1st pot.
At least one of the two is Haworthia cooperi var. cooperi, I am quite sure.
But which? Or both...?
Thanks
Nachtkrabb

I’d say the second one is H. cooperi var. cooperi.
First one could be retusa or cymbiformis, could be something else.

Thanks, bbarv. Maybe it helps if I add pictures of what I have in my house -- will be doing that later. I do not expect H.cymbiformis as I have one which sat & thrieved in a spot where these two here felt it much too hot / sunny. They got into heat dorm & didn't wake up for at least two years & only woke up this summer, when I provided them with another space. This is why I am confused by them: They didn't show their faces for quite some time. #-o

Well, here they come. The plant 3 was "diagnosed" as a H. cooperi leightonii, plant 4as H. cymbiformis. This is why I am sceptical to plant 1 from above being a H. cymbiformis: To me they look different, & plant 1 didn't like the spot where plant 4 is thrieving. Plant 3 prefers LOADS of sunlight on contrary to most of the other Haworthias.
