How to grow Haworthia succulenta

1. Breeding methods

1. Soil: The roots of Haworthia are shallow, so it does not require very deep or thick soil. Just choose looser nutrient soil to plant it.

2. Light: The light exposure to the plants needs to be strictly controlled. When the light is strong in summer, provide appropriate shade to prevent direct sunlight from burning the plants. In winter, place the plant in a well-lit location so that it can receive the necessary light.

3. Temperature: It is not very demanding on temperature, but is relatively afraid of cold. It should be placed in a place with sufficient light in winter.

4. Watering: If the plant is not watered properly, it will cause symptoms such as root rot and leaf atrophy. The soil needs to be kept moist during the growing season. Winter and midsummer are semi-dormant periods, and the best time is when the soil in the pot is dry.

5. Fertilization: Haworthia does not like fertilizer and does not require much fertilizer. It only needs to be applied 1 to 2 times a year. Too much fertilizer can easily cause fertilizer damage and burn its roots.

2. Precautions

When black spot disease occurs in Haworthia, black and green water-soaked spots will appear on the leaves. It can be treated by spraying 600 times diluted 50% methyl thiophanate sulfur suspension, 500 times diluted 36% methyl thiophanate suspension, or 27% alkaline suspension at the early stage of the disease.
