Haworthia cooperi has many forms of which var. truncata is the most extreme. Found in the Eastern Cape, North of East London, this Haworthia's blunt leaf tips show an adaptation to its extreme environment. It is quite common in cultivation with its habit of crowding the  
pot with many offsets. It grows well in bright light and full sun but will grow in full shade. Each light
condition will affect the appearance of the plant, as it will respond differently to different growing conditions.
