Raised geometry with white webbing over a green body 🕸️
Family: Asphodelaceae · Pot diameter: 8.5 cm · Height: 15cm
Haworthiopsis limifolia ‘Spider White’ resembles a small handmade sculpture: every dark green leaf carries pronounced white raised lines that continue around the rosette like a fine web. Alternating dark body and bright relief creates striking depth while the plant remains discreetly compact.
It needs neither loud colour nor large scale to stand out; texture, symmetry and almost ceramic precision do the work. ‘Spider White’ is an excellent small collector choice for a shelf, desk or calm display where its detail can be appreciated at close range and its form always looks composed.
Three defining details that turn its botanical identity into real presence for a collection and interior.
Elevated lines catch small shadows and make every leaf look carved.
Triangular leaves repeat in a dense spiral with a strong architectural rhythm.
The trade name ‘Spider White’ corresponds to the protected selection ‘Lock01’, not an informal white form.
Why you’ll love it: it combines a documented cultivar identity, tactile relief and clean miniature geometry that rewards close observation.
Set it in a low matt pot with pale mineral top dressing against a dark or wooden background. A side view reveals the relief best, while a little clear space around the rosette keeps its miniature architecture crisp.
Pair it with plants that genuinely share its light, substrate and seasonal rhythm. Separate pots keep care precise for each one.
Bright indirect light and gentle morning sun, not hot midday glass.
Water after the mix dries well, always keeping the rosette centre clear.
Mild temperatures, dry airflow and protection from frost or enclosed humidity.
No strong species-specific toxicology record is available; discourage chewing and handle leaf tips gently.
Give it abundant diffused brightness near an east-facing or bright north-facing window. Gentle morning sun supports compact form, while harsh midday exposure may fade or mark the leaves.
Water when the mix has dried well through almost all its depth and the pot feels lighter. Allow complete drainage and keep moisture out of the centre of the rosette.
It needs clean air movement without cold drafts and gains nothing from misting. Ventilation becomes especially important as rosettes thicken or offsets appear.
It grows best in mild temperatures and slows during intense heat or winter coolness. Match watering frequency to actual growth rather than to the calendar.
Use an aerated succulent mix with mineral components and a small proportion of fine organic material. Keep the rosette high, without burying the lower leaves.
After fresh Sybasoil, wait before adding nutrition. During active growth a mild diluted dose of Cactus & Succulent Focus, used as directed, is sufficient.
The RHS records Haworthiopsis limifolia Spider White (‘Lock01’ PBR). ‘Spider White’ functions as the trade name and ‘Lock01’ as the registered selection denomination.
Its strongly contrasting white ridges result from horticultural selection. A reliable public record of the originator or exact first-release year is not available.
Kew accepts Haworthiopsis limifolia, native from southern Mozambique to southern Mpumalanga and growing in a subtropical biome.
From natural habitat to care: Wild limifolia grow low among rocks and neighbouring vegetation, receiving strong yet often filtered radiation with rapid drainage. This explains the cultivar’s preference for bright shade, an aerated root zone and a clear drying phase.
The white relief is formed by raised epidermal tissue, not colour applied to the surface.
Many plants sold as Haworthia were moved to Haworthiopsis using morphological and molecular evidence.
The regular displacement of each new leaf distributes shade and creates its characteristic circular texture.
Thick blades hold reserves, while the roots require oxygen between watering cycles.
Useful answers about light, watering, seasonal rhythm and the plant’s correct identity.
The accepted modern placement is Haworthiopsis limifolia. The older name Haworthia limifolia remains common in trade.
It is the registered selection denomination linked with the trade name Spider White, distinguishing this specific clone.
Water after the mix has dried well and the pot feels lighter, keeping the centre of the rosette dry.
It prefers bright indirect light and gentle morning sun; hot midday exposure may mark the leaves.
It may slow during both heatwaves and winter coolness. Adjust moisture according to new growth.
Reliable evidence specific to this cultivar is limited. Keep it out of reach of chewing as a precaution, protecting both the animal and the fragile rosette.
