Haworthia ‘Shikinjyo’ Forbidden City (Haworthia splendens x ‘Kotohime’) [紫金城], Rooted, 7cm

Haworthia ‘Shikinjyo’ is a 7cm rooted specimen.

• Form: Acaulescent, compact, low-profile rosette displaying impeccable geometric symmetry and tight, spirally imbricate leaf arrangement characteristic of elite Haworthia splendens parentage.

• Leaves: Deltoid-ovate, plump, and rigidly retuse. The upper third of each leaf bends sharply into an expansive, flattened triangular facet, bordered by finely denticulate margins bearing minute, reddish teeth and terminating in a distinct, acute mucro.

• Texture & Windows: Heavily verrucose upper facial planes densely studded with raised, glistening, pearl-like tubercles that create a frosted, tactile rugosity. The windows are intersected by dramatic, bold, pitch-black to deep chocolate-brown longitudinal veins that radiate and converge toward the tip, offering striking contrast against the opaline, white-pustulate epidermal tissue.

• Color: Dark charcoal-green to obsidian ground pigmentation, overlaid by silvery-frosted facial windows. Under bright illumination or cooler resting conditions, the leaf perimeters, marginal teeth, and venous interspaces flush an intense purplish-bronze to deep maroon.
