Haworthia ‘Black Knight’ Hybrid is a 7cm rooted specimen.
• Form: Compact, multi-tiered acaulescent rosette displaying a striking star-shaped architecture with rigidly ascending to spreading foliage and precise radial symmetry.
• Leaves: Deltoid-lanceolate, sharply attenuate, and rigid. The adaxial surface is distinctly concave to canaliculate, while the abaxial face is strongly convex with a pronounced, acute keel. Apices terminate in sharp, mucronate tips with amber-colored awns, bounded by margins and keels armed with a dense, comb-like row of fine cartilaginous teeth.
• Texture & Windows: Heavily verrucose and pustulate. The semi-pellucid adaxial windows are studded with prominent, raised, glossy tubercles reminiscent of armored rivets or scutes arranged in longitudinal series. These lustrous, blister-like papillae contrast with dark, etched longitudinal striations, creating a coarse, tactile rugosity.
• Color: Moody and dark, dominated by deep obsidian, charcoal-black, and dark olive-green ground tissue. Under intense light exposure, the outer leaves, keels, and toothy margins blush vibrant shades of burnt terracotta, copper-bronze, and dusky chocolate-maroon.
