Care
General Maintenance: Haworthia enjoy being slightly rootbound, so they will not need to be repotted often. Prune off any dead leaves if necessary. Can propagate by division of the new pups.
Temperature: Thrives in normal household temperatures, between 15-26 Celsius. Keep away from drafts and drastic temperature changes.
Light: Thrives in plenty of indirect light/ some direct light. Too much direct sun may cause the tips of the leaves to brown. Not suitable for low light locations.
Watering: Water once every 3-4 weeks, allowing the soil to dry out completely in between waterings. Ensure your pot has adequate drainage, to avoid root rot issues.
Soil: A very well draining soil such as cactus mix is ideal for Haworthia. You can also add sand or perlite to regular potting soil to make a suitable growing medium.
Fertilizer: Fertilize with a diluted liquid houseplant fertilizer once every 6 weeks during the spring and summer months.
