Haworthia Pygmaea Mutant 'Ice City'

Haworthia “Ice City” Mutant is a rare and captivating succulent, prized by collectors for its frosty, semi-translucent leaf tips and compact rosette form. Unlike typical Haworthia magnifica, this mutant displays a delicate icy blue-grey coloration, giving it a striking, almost ethereal appearance.

This slow-growing succulent produces small offsets over time, gradually forming attractive clusters. Perfect for succulent enthusiasts, collectors, and tabletop gardens, it thrives in bright, indirect light and well-draining soil. Its unique coloration makes it a standout addition to any collection.
