Plant Care & Growing Tips

Caring for your Haworthia live plant collection is straightforward, making them excellent choices for beginners. The key to successful Haworthia plant care lies in understanding their native arid environment and replicating similar conditions indoors. These plants thrive on neglect rather than over-attention, so resist the urge to water too frequently. They need abundant bright light to maintain their vibrant colors and compact form. Place them in a location where they can receive several hours of bright, indirect sunlight each day. An east or west-facing window is often ideal, providing good light without the intensity of direct afternoon sun which can scorch their leaves. If natural light is limited, a grow light can supplement their needs.

When it comes to watering, the ‘soak and dry’ method is best for these easy care succulents. Water thoroughly until water drains from the bottom of the pot, then allow the soil to dry out completely before watering again. This can mean watering every 2-4 weeks, depending on your home’s humidity and temperature. In winter, when growth slows, reduce watering even further. A well-draining soil mix is crucial; a succulent or cactus mix amended with perlite or pumice will provide the ideal drainage and aeration. Normal house temperatures, typically between 65-80°F (18-27°C), are perfectly fine for Haworthias. They generally do not require high humidity. Fertilize sparingly, if at all. During their active growing season (spring and summer), you can use a diluted liquid houseplant fertilizer (1/4 strength) once a month. Avoid fertilizing in fall and winter when the plant is resting. Repotting is rarely needed as Haworthias prefer to be somewhat root-bound and grow slowly. When they do outgrow their 2 inch succulent pots, choose a pot only slightly larger to avoid excess moisture retention. Keep an eye out for common pests like mealybugs; treat them promptly with rubbing alcohol or insecticidal soap.
