Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Though H. lockwoodii is from the dry areas south of Laingsburg in the Great Karoo in South Africa, a summer rainfall area, these plants prefer to grow in winter. The most distinguishing charactistic is the drying back of the leaf tips during the summer. Considered more difficult than most Haworthias, since they are prone to rot if over-watered, it's a plant that's well worth the challenge.
