Haworthias are some of the most drought-tolerant succulents, especially in some shade, where they perform better than most other succulents. Of the haworthias this one is one of the more drought tolerant. 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 and a consistent watering once dry will also encourage new stolons to form. If you see your leaves shriveling, or if the bottom leaves are drying up, your plant likely needs water. | |

Notas de cultivo
Very easy. Pull off older flower spikes once they are completely dry.
Exceptional choice for pots, even small ones.
Interés especial
Keep an eye out on your flowers as haworthia often set keikis—small pups dangling from the flower spike—that can be replanted once the flower spike begins to wane.
