H. glauca is stem forming species with glaucous, incurved, grey-green leaves, which can be erect or spreading, tuberculate, with whitesh markings or it can be (and usually is) completly glabrous. It is freely offseting species which forms larger clusters in nature, it is growing often exposed on the rock slopes or under the weak protection of bushes. And because of its stem-growing habit, it is usually damaged by grazing animals like other Haworthiopsis or Astroloba.

Distribution map

H. glauca occurs in the Eastern Cape province from the Willowmore in the West to Uitenhage in the East, from Jansenville in the North to Kirkwood in the South. The form with tubercles was described as var. herrei. Very interesting, almost intermediate looking like form with H. coarctata was reported high up on farm Kabouga. Other attractive for is from Kirkwood, where plants have olive green color with very smooth and shiny surface. Several natural hybrids with H. viscosa were reported mostly from area around Fullarton.

In cultivation H. glauca is very easy plant, it needs a bit more light to stay compact. Propagation can be done by offsetts.
