How to propagate Haworthia and what to pay attention to

How to reproduce Haworthia

The main ways to propagate Haworthia are division, leaf cuttings, side buds, and beheading. Its seeds can also be propagated. Generally speaking, beheading is the fastest way to propagate Haworthia.

Haworthia reproduction time

The most commonly used propagation method for Haworthia is leaf cuttings, which are generally more suitable in spring and autumn because these two seasons are the peak growth periods of Haworthia and the survival rate of leaf cuttings is high.

How to propagate Haworthia

Propagation of Haworthia serrata by division

Take the Haworthia out of the pot, remove excess soil, trim old and diseased roots, cut the plant into pieces so that each small plant has roots. At the same time, trim the leaves appropriately. Soak the small plants in a solution of chlorothalonil for 5 minutes, take them out, dry them, and plant them in pots.

Propagation of Haworthia by cuttings

Cut the top buds between the nodes of the Haworthia inflorescence as cuttings, and then plant them after the wounds are dry. Plant them directly in the prepared substrate. Place them in a bright place in the early growth stage. Do not water them too much. Wait until the soil in the pot is dry before watering.

Seed propagation of Haworthia

Prepare the sowing pot, spread soil in it, add some pesticide, and then spread a layer of small-grained stones about 5 mm on top. Then spray water appropriately to wet the soil. Then you can sow the seeds on the potting soil, cover with glass, and wait for germination.

Haworthia leaf cuttings

Cut a complete Haworthia leaf with a part of the stem tissue, apply rooting powder on the leaf, let it dry and place the leaf in moist soil. Soon, the leaf will take root and grow into a small plant.

Precautions for breeding of Haworthia

When growing Haworthia indoors, you need to place it in a place with sufficient sunlight. It is best to move it outdoors for a period of time every half a month or a month. Although there is sufficient sunlight indoors, the leaves of the plant will become thinner and the petioles will become slender over a long period of time.
