The super cool and super hardy Haworthia, is a wonderfully hardy and so easy to take care of.  In the succulent family, they are much easier to take care of than regular succulent plants and tolerant to almost any condition.  They make a perfect beginners plant and can grow in any light condition and can be watered every couple of weeks or even once a month.  Comes in a cool 4.5" cement coffee mug planter and is great as a plant gift!
