Haworthia

In a succulent collection, Haworthia add a new dimension with their unique growth habit and form.

Most grow in a rosette of spiky, chubby, delicately marked foliage, and they tend over time to form a clump of many smaller rosettes. This makes it possible to separate the offsets and make a new plant easily.

The roots of Haworthia are fleshy and a pale yellow colour if healthy. Sometimes the roots become aged and rot, so if you have a plant that’s looking sad, this could be the cause.

Trimming off the dead roots and repotting into fresh soil will usually help. Cutting back on watering in future will prevent this, although Haworthia are much more forgiving of more moisture in the soil.

In fact, they prefer this, as well as being able to grow very well in lower light conditions. A bright window with filtered light will suit them fine, as in full sun the leaves of some species turn brown and sunburn easily.

Frequently mistaken for Aloe, they have distinct differences in their care requirements, the two main criteria of light and moisture are the most important. Due to the fact that they are less apt to dwindle and die from lower light and more watering, they make great succulent house plants.
