	water info	Haworthias are some of the most drought-tolerant succulents, especially in some shade, where they perform better than most other succulents. They will look more lush and vibrant with bi-weekly summer water, or more if they’re planted in the sun or in smaller pots. If you see your leaves shriveling, or if the bottom leaves are drying up, your plant likely needs water.

Growing Notes

Exceptional choice for pots, even small ones.

This haworthia offsets from the base, creating a small colony over time. Once a pup is established with its own roots, they are easily divided and repotted.

If the lower leaves of a stem ever begin to die off you can peel them away and trim the stem as low as possible. Let dry and then plant the top (with at least an inch of exposed stem). The top will give you a new plant and the bottom will regrow with many new vibrant heads.
