Haworthia
Bright, indirect light preferred; tolerates some direct sun but avoid harsh midday rays.
Allow soil to dry out completely between waterings; water sparingly.
Feed every 2–3 months with a diluted cactus or succulent fertilizer during the growing season.
Repot every 2–3 years or when the plant outgrows its container.
Description
Haworthia is a compact, slow-growing succulent with thick, fleshy leaves often marked with stripes or translucent tips. Its small size and low maintenance make it perfect for desks, windowsills, or grouped with other succulents in UK homes and offices.
Pet-friendly and non-toxic.
PLANTING
- Use a gritty, free-draining cactus mix in a pot with drainage holes.
PLANT CARE
- Remove any dried or shrivelled leaves.
- Rotate for even growth and avoid overwatering.
VERVE RECOMMENDS
- Place in a bright spot with indirect sunlight.
- Let soil dry completely before watering again.
- Use a small terracotta pot for breathability.
- Avoid overwatering—root rot is the main risk.
