Haworthia leightonii G.G.Smith
leightonii: for I. Leighton
H. leightonii is characteristic by its reddish-pink colour which develops under stress. It is very proliferous species, which is forming large clumps in nature. It is an ecotype associated with the granitic slabs of the coastal area near Kayser´s Beach.
It is the most eastern distribution limite of "cooperi" species. More inland grows H. davidii and more to the west grows H. doldii. It is one of the few Haworthia species, which grows almost open on the full sun.
H. leightonii in cultivation grows without any problems. If you want to keep its reddish colour, grow it more on sunny place. Propagation can be done by offsetts or seedlings.
