How do you grow the succulent Haworthia cooperi so it becomes crystal clear?
In recent years a succulent craze has quietly sprung up. Those plump, fleshy little plants are very cute. Today what we are going to talk about is one of the most popular succulents——Haworthia cooperi. As the name suggests, Haworthia cooperi is crystal clear. But if you do not grow it well, it will be dry and very ugly. Now let me teach you how to grow Haworthia cooperi well~
How to grow the succulent Haworthia cooperi
1. Soil
Haworthia cooperi is suited to growing in fertile yet loose soil. It needs good drainage and air permeability. So coarse-grained sandy soil containing limestone is most suitable. You can also add peat to the soil to ensure organic matter
2. Temperature
Haworthia cooperi is originally a plant introduced from South Africa. It grows in subtropical regions. It is not tolerant of high temperatures, and even less tolerant of cold. It is suited to being grown indoors, warm in winter and cool in summer. Generally 18 to 22 degrees is the environment suitable for its growth. In the high temperatures of summer, Haworthia cooperi will enter a semi-dormant state. It stops growing. In winter, normal watering will instead let it grow normally
3. Light
Haworthia cooperi is a plant that is extremely sensitive to light. The light must not be too strong; exposure to the sun and overly strong light will cause the leaves to have light brown spots, which is very ugly. Of course, if you can make it evenly turn reddish brown, that is also fine. But if the light is too weak and it is too shaded, it will also make the Haworthia cooperi plant shape loose and the leaves thin and long. Then it is no longer plump and cute. And it is no longer transparent. So you can add a shade net outdoors. From October to April you can then remove it
4. Watering
During the growing period, watering should follow the principle of not watering when not dry, and watering thoroughly when you do water. Do not let water accumulate in the pot, and especially remember not to let it get rained on. Let alone be rained on for a long time. Otherwise watch out for root rot. But! It also must not be too dry; although Haworthia cooperi likes a warm and dry environment and will not die if not watered for a long time, such a Haworthia cooperi will be very ugly. Shriveled and dull. You can water with a spray bottle. This ensures moisture without too much water
