| Home Page | Astroloba is a small genus of rosette shaped succulent. The leaves end in a sharp spiny tip. There are very closely related to the Haworthias, and are extremely similar to any of the columnar shaped species. They are separated from the Haworthias by the fact that their flower is regular shaped intead to have the characteristic 2-tipped corolla of the Haworthias.
Many Astroloba are slow to grow and to offset. They take very little frost, and need a good drainage. They are also notorious for some species habits of dropping leaves from segments of the stem, seriously damaging their look.
