Haworthiopsis limifolia, affectionately called the Fairy Washboard, is a compact and sculptural succulent known for its mesmerizing leaf ridges. Native to southern Africa, its dark green triangular leaves spiral in a rosette, with raised, wavy ridges that resemble an old-fashioned washboard. This hardy plant is a slow grower and thrives with minimal attention, making it a favorite for beginners and collectors alike.
