Haworthia

Light:

East or West facing window where they get a few hours of direct light daily, and bright indirect light through the remainder of the daylight hours

Water Requirement:

If the soil mix is well drained, Haworthias can be watered weekly in the summer months; less frequently in the winter. The soil should dry between watering. Prolonged wet soil, especially when it is cool, there is low light intensity, and/or the plants are not actively growing, can lead to root rot.

Fertilizer:

Balanced, low concentration fertilizer at each watering.

Growth Habit:

In the range of 1-3” in diameter, and clusters of several dozen stems can fit nicely in a 4-5” pot.

Noteworthy Characteristics:

Many haworthias readily offset, and therefore are easily passed along to friends or handed down from generation to generation. There are at least about 60 named species and about 150 named varieties, and the differences in nature from one to another, and even two plants growing side-by-side can have quite different coloration or markings.
