It can usually be distinguished from its relatives however, by its dark green leaves which become purple in full sun exposure. (This species is almost as dark as its relative Haworthia maraisii.) The leaves have a scabrous (rough) sub-tuberculate, slightly translucent surface, covered in faint, parallel lines and sometimes light flecked markings.
Longitudinal section of a Lithops plant, showing the epidermal window at the top, the translucent succulent tissue, the green photosynthetic tissue, and the decussate budding leaves growing between the mature leaves. The most startling adaptation of Lithops is the colouring of the leaves.
A flowering Fenestraria rhopalophylla, so named due to the translucent leaf window on the tips of its modified leaf.. Leaf window, also known as epidermal window, [1] and fenestration, [2] [3] is a specialized leaf structure consisting of a translucent area through which light can enter the interior surfaces of the leaf where photosynthesis can occur.
Wilted and discolored leaves or leaves with visible pests may recover with treatment, but slimy, sunburned, torn, or holey leaves should also be removed to give your plant more energy to heal.
The leaf shape is variable. They may be covered in a white epicuticular wax, or present green. The base of the leaf is generally 1 to 3 cm wide, and may wound red or yellow when detached from the stem. The tip of the leaf is generally acute, while the margins of the leaves generally have 0 to 1 angles between the upper and lower leaf surfaces. [5]
Haworthia is a large genus of small succulent plants endemic to Southern Africa (Mozambique, Namibia, Lesotho, Eswatini and South Africa). [1]Like aloes and gasteria they are members of the subfamily Asphodeloideae and they generally resemble miniature aloes, except in their flowers, which are distinctive in appearance.
Succulents are remarkable plants. Yes, you read that correctly: Using the fallen leaves and stem cuttings from the succulents in your current collection, you can grow new ones via a process known ...
The leaf sheaths are thin and translucent, 8 to 12 mm long and 5 to 8 mm wide, at the mouth they are long, otherwise glabrous or slightly hairy. Tradescantia zebrina leaves. The low-lying, slightly succulent, perennial, herbaceous plant often forms dense mats or colonies. This is done primarily by natural formation of taproots.
