Haworthia cymbiformis f. variegata
Haworthia cuspidata Haw.: supposedly a cross between Haworthia retusa and Haworthia cymbiformis.- Haworthia cymbiformis (Haw.) Duval: has very plump and juicy leaves which are swollen with stored water. It comes from a wide area, and is very variable. Distribution: East London to Port Elizabeth, and Adelaide and Committees on the Fish River.
- Haworthia cymbiformis f. gracilidelineata (Poelln.) Pilbeam: has small tightly clustered, rosettes up to 3 cm in diameter. Leaves incurved almost completely tranlucent.
- Haworthia cymbiformis var. incurvula (Poelln.) M.B.Bayer: has narrow, incurved leaves, with rounded tranlucent teeth. Distribution: Grahamstown , Eastern Cape, South Africa.
- Haworthia cymbiformis var. obtusa (Haw.) Baker: Distribution: Fort Beaufort, Eastern Cape, South Africa.
- Haworthia cymbiformis f. pallida hort.: Pale form with yellowhis-green leves. Origin: Plants so-named are known only in cultivation.
- Haworthia cymbiformis f. planifolia (Haw.) Pilbeam: always grows at an acute angle, often with the rosette almost perpendicular; it usually grows in shade but reddens if in the sun.
- Haworthia cymbiformis var. ramosa (G.G.Sm.) M.B.Bayer: it is a shortly caulescent form with smaller rosettes.
- Haworthia cymbiformis var. reddii (C.L.Scott) M.B.Bayer: Distribution: Fort Beaufort, ), Eastern Cape, South Africa.
- Haworthia cymbiformis var. setulifera (Poelln.) M.B.Bayer
- Haworthia cymbiformis var. transiens (Poelln.) M.B.Bayer: has translucent green leaves 1,5-2,5 cm long each with 8-10 longitudinal stripes. In ful sun the leaves tend to take a red brown colouring. Margin finely toothed. Distribution: Baviaanskloof and Langkloof , Eastern Cape.
- Haworthia cymbiformis var. umbraticola (Poelln.) M.B.Bayer: has leaf-tips with large clear areas with dark green lines.
- Haworthia cymbiformis f. variegata: has soft, juicy and glassy (almost transparent) leaves which are nicely variegated with light-green and white longitudinal strips with varying amounts of variegation.
- Haworthia planifolia f. agavoides W.Triebner & Poelln.: has large flattened rosettes with very wide leaves.

: They are amongst the easiest Haworthias to grow. On account of their easy cultivation these plants are fairly common in collections and are more tolerant of injudicious watering than the others. They must be repotted frequently, because every year a part of their roots die and then rots in the pot. They are very responsive to differing cultural conditions both as regards colour, length and shape of leaves, rate of growth and size of plant.
Watering Needs: Water regularly in the growing season, but avoid water-logging and let dry between watering, they should never dry out completely during the rest period.
Frost Tolerance: Hardy to -1 (-5)°C.
Propagation: Seeds or (usually) offsets.
Sun Exposure: It prefers locations with diffuse sunlight or light shade, it can tolerate shade. It proliferates rapidly and should be exposed to at least some direct sunlight to prevent bloating and excessive softening of the plants, but shelter from direct sun during the hottest hours! Plants can have more remarkable colour under stress and if more exposed to direct sunlight.
