Haworthia ‘Tenshi no Namida’ is a 5cm rooted specimen.
• Form: Compact, acaulescent rosette displaying a striking, upright architectural silhouette, composed of spirally arranged, rigidly ascending to incurved foliage with precise radial symmetry.
• Leaves: Thick, rigid, and coriaceous, lanceolate-attenuate to deltoid-subulate, tapering into acute, pungent apices. The adaxial surface is distinctly concave to canaliculate, while the abaxial surface is strongly convex and keeled toward the tip, with the margins defined by continuous, raised white cartilaginous ridges.
• Texture & Windows: Non-windowed and completely opaque. Both surfaces are dramatically verrucose, embellished with large, raised, tear-shaped and rounded porcelain-white enamel tubercles. These glossy nodules align in longitudinal rows on the adaxial face and coalesce into confluent, raised ivory bands along the margins and keels, imparting remarkable three-dimensional tactile relief.
• Color: Lustrous deep emerald to forest-green ground tissue, offering supreme contrast against the glistening white “tear” tubercles. Exposure to high illumination induces breathtaking seasonal stress tones of bright coral-red, salmon-pink, and warm bronze on older basal leaves and terminal points.
