Haworthia is delightful little succulents that are very attractive small houseplants. These small, low growing plants form rosettes of fleshy green leaves that are generously covered with white, pearly warts or bands, giving them a distinctive appearance. Generally easy to grow, the same best practices that yield healthy aloe and echeveria plants will also produce beautiful Haworthia.

Haworthia species like bright light, but not direct sunlight. These grow in similar conditions to other succulents. In their native environment, they are often found in the shade of a rock or other object. They do best in a room with a window that provide bright light for a few hours a day. White or yellow leaves usually signify too much sun. If the plant isn’t getting enough light, its green color will fade. Use a cactus mix or very fast-draining potting soil. Water evenly and generously in the summer, letting the soil media dry out between waterings. In the winter, reduce watering to every other month. Never allow water to collect in the rosette. Fertilize during the summer growing season with a cactus fertilizer. Don’t feed during the winter.
