Good question!
Haworthia are fairly unique because, despite being succulent plants, they are very shade tolerant. Also, they are very drought tolerant. Even amongst succulents they use very little water. These two facts together make it difficult to find it partner plants. I have two genera of plants to recommend though.
1) Aloe. Be careful with this one, because some Aloe species like full sun but others only need partial sun. The famed Aloe vera is one that only needs partial sun. For a less "main stream" plant there's Aloe 'Snowstorm'. The lighter colors of this plant might accent the Haworthia dark green nicely!
2) Gasteria + Hybrids. Gasteria are very similar to Haworthia. So similar, in fact, that you may run the risk of a pot looking to "samey" if you have just Haworthia and Gasteria in it. However, some plants, might be different enough to add some interest. Gasteria and Aloe also hybridize to make some pretty special plants called Gasteraloes. One of my favorites is Gasteraloe 'Emmy'. Another unique one is Gasteraloe 'White Wings'.
I made all of my recommendations into links so you should just be able to click on them to go to our website's store page about them. I hope this helps!
