Many flower enthusiasts like to grow a few succulents, especially Haworthia cooperi, which is small and exquisite, with semi-transparent windows on its leaves, thick and plump, crystal clear, and very beautiful. Its popularity in succulent enthusiasts' groups has always been very high. However, Haworthia cooperi is one of the more expensive succulents, so how to grow them well is what we need to learn, otherwise growing one pot and killing one pot would be a big loss.

Haworthia cooperi can be propagated by sowing seeds. Seeds can be bought or self-pollinated. If self-pollinating, when Haworthia cooperi blooms, find two that are blooming at the same time. When pollinating, remove the petals, apply the pollen of one Haworthia cooperi to another, and after 1 month, when the plant's seeds mature, then sow them. You can also buy some finished plants to grow.

For soil, we generally choose peat soil, and we must add a certain amount of granular soil. Perlite and coarse river sand are both fine, preferably more than 50%. Never use soil from the edge of a vegetable plot; that is not suitable for succulent growth. During the growing season, for plants with vigorous growth, apply a decomposed dilute liquid fertilizer or a low-nitrogen, high-phosphorus, high-potassium compound fertilizer once a month. Newly potted plants or weak-growing plants do not need fertilizing.

We all know that succulents prefer a cool, semi-shaded environment, and Haworthia cooperi is certainly no exception. Its vigorous growth period is in spring and autumn. It is drought-tolerant, not cold-tolerant, and avoids high temperatures, humidity, and direct sun exposure. It fears shade and also fears water accumulation in the soil. Therefore, in midsummer, be sure to water less to prevent water accumulation in the pot soil, which can cause root rot. Almost all succulents forbid water accumulation in the pot. Generally, do not use tap water to water succulents directly, because tap water contains more chlorine, which is not conducive to succulent growth.

Haworthia cooperi is a type within the Haworthia genus of succulents. Its cute and charming appearance, crystal-clear leaf color, and many special horticultural variations make it unique. If there are flower enthusiasts who like succulents, you can try growing this one.
