Haworthia cooperi seed-sowing tips: easy to learn, and the more you grow them, the more dewy and plump they become

To sow Haworthia cooperi, you first need to obtain its seeds through hand pollination, then choose a slightly smaller container and sow directly. For the soil, you can mix leaf mold, peat soil, and vermiculite in a ratio of 2:2:3. To sow, simply scatter the Haworthia cooperi seeds onto the substrate, then cover with a piece of glass and keep it ventilated.

1. Obtaining seeds

For Haworthia cooperi, if you want it to set seed, it must be hand pollinated. Generally, we choose to do this during peak flowering and when the weather is clear and sunny. Specifically, choose two plants that are flowering at the same time, take the pollen from one and apply it to the stigma of the other. Once they mature, you can collect the seeds.

2. Sowing time

The seeds of this plant can be collected and sown at any time, without any special treatment. So the sowing time can be adjusted according to when the seeds are collected.

3. Choosing a container

Its plant form is fairly small, so if the container is too large it will inevitably look unattractive, so when choosing, try to pick a smaller container.

4. Choosing a substrate

To better improve the survival rate, you must consider whether its drainage is good and whether the nutrients are rich and sufficient, among other things. Taking all the above requirements into account, we can choose to mix leaf mold, peat soil, and vermiculite in a ratio of 2:2:3. In addition, one more thing to note is that before sowing, it is best to disinfect the substrate, such as by high-temperature treatment, to kill the many toxic bacteria and other harmful substances in it.

5. Sowing and later care

Sow the previously collected seeds into the already disinfected substrate, then cover with a piece of glass. Pay attention to maintaining temperature and providing proper ventilation. After waiting about twenty days, we can observe that it has sprouted. At this point, we can remove the glass. After removing it, also be careful to continue ventilating and to keep the soil at a suitable level of moisture.
