Haworthia - Succulents
Haworthia is a genus of small succulent plants native to Southern Africa. They are often grown indoors as houseplants and are popular due to their unique appearance and ease of care.
Here are the necessary care instructions for Haworthia:
-
Light: Haworthia prefers bright, indirect light but can tolerate lower light conditions.
-
Watering: Water your Haworthia sparingly, only when the soil has completely dried out. Overwatering can cause root rot.
-
Soil: Plant your Haworthia in well-draining soil, such as a cactus or succulent mix.
-
Temperature: Haworthia prefers temperatures between 18-32°C and can be sensitive to extreme temperature fluctuations.
-
Humidity: Haworthia does not require high humidity and can tolerate dry air.
-
Fertilizer: Fertilize your Haworthia sparingly, using a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer at half strength once a month during the growing season.
-
Repotting: Repot your Haworthia when it has outgrown its current pot or when the soil has become compacted. Use a pot that is only slightly larger than the current pot.
-
Propagation: Haworthia can be propagated by separating offsets or by leaf cuttings. Allow the offsets or cuttings to dry out for a few days before planting them in soil.
