Detail
Haworthias are small, making them beautiful additions to succulent and cactus dish gardens.

Some species may flower. The blooms are small and grow in clusters on long stems.

What these succulent house plants have in common is a tolerance for neglect. Put them in indirect light and water occasionally and you'll keep them happy for several years.

Watch that water. When watering, avoid getting the leaves wet. Like other succulents, its leaves are prone to rot.

Give it a winter rest. Growth slows down in winter, when light levels are lower. Water less in winter and keep your plant slightly cooler.

Repot in late spring. It's a good idea to repot every year or two because they shed their old roots each spring, and giving them fresh potting mix will keep the plants healthy. You'll probably want to propagate offsets at that time anyway.

Haworthias have small roots, so a shallow container will do. If you use a container without drainage holes (as shown below), add a 1-inch (2.5 cm) layer of pebbles at the bottom to allow good drainage.

Light: Bright indirect light. Unlike most succulents, haworthias don't like direct sun, which can make the leaves shrivel or cause brown scorch marks. If you move your plant outdoors for the summer months, make the move a gradual one and keep it shaded.

Water: Allow soil to almost dry out between waterings. Try to avoid getting the leaves wet because they may rot.

Humidity: Average room humidity.

Temperature: Normal room temperatures (65-75°F/18-24°C) spring through fall. In winter, allow plant to rest, keeping it cooler (around 60°F/16°C) if possible.

Soil: Cactus and succulent potting mix works well to provide good drainage. Or combine 2 parts peat-moss based potting mix and 1 part sharp sand.

Fertilizer: Feed monthly in spring and summer with a fertilizer specially made for succulents. Don't feed in winter when growth has slowed down.

Propagation: Remove offsets that grow around the plant in spring and pot in their own containers.
