How do you care for Haworthia cooperi at home? This one trick keeps it plump and dewy like jelly

Among succulents, the crystal-like leaves of Haworthia cooperi are my favorite, so dewy and plump they look like "jelly." But some plant lovers feel a little sad looking at their own succulents, which instead of sparkling look wilted. So today Huahua is here to teach you how to make your Haworthia cooperi become crystal clear!

Actually, Haworthia cooperi is quite suitable for beginners to grow. Not only does it look small and cute, but it is also relatively easy to care for. As long as you don't do anything that harms it, you will naturally end up with a plump, chubby Haworthia cooperi.

When growing it, we must pay attention to watering. Actually, for all succulents, this step is crucial, because whether it is too much or too little, it has a certain effect on the growth of the whole plant. Especially when you have just bought it, you must control that hand that wants to water it.

Because many people give their newly bought potted plants a big soak of water, but for succulents this is a fatal move. If you add blazing sun and poor ventilation on top of that, it will not only turn to mush but also directly rot the roots, and then you really will have to say goodbye to your succulent.

And because the leaves of Haworthia cooperi themselves contain a certain amount of water, when we water we should try not to go by a schedule, but according to the actual wet and dry condition of the soil, as this is more beneficial to its growth. As for summer, you can skip watering. Besides that, you must also ensure good ventilation, especially in summer, which can also help prevent attracting small bugs.

If you want to make it a bit more dewy, we can use a plastic cup to cover the whole Haworthia cooperi, then place it in a semi-shaded spot. In such an environment, its leaves can become even more watery. But note, this method must never be used in the already muggy summer, otherwise it will backfire, and in serious cases it will directly smother the Haworthia cooperi to death.

Actually, the best care method is to put it outside for open-air growing, so its naturally grown state will be even better. But in summer, be sure to set up a shade net for it, and you can also put up a fence, mainly to prevent birds from coming to peck at it.
