Care tips for Haworthia fasciata

Potting soil: when repotting in April-May each year, cut off the withered leaves at the base of the plant and the overly long fibrous roots. For potted plants, shallow planting is best; use a mixed soil of leaf mold and coarse sand. Keep the potting soil slightly moist during the growing season.

Humidity: when the air is too dry, spray water to increase humidity. During the semi-dormant period in winter and midsummer, keep it dry and strictly control watering.

Fertilizing: fertilize once a month with diluted cake fertilizer water or a special fertilizer for potted flowers. When using liquid fertilizer, do not let it stain the leaves.

Cuttings: in May-June, gently cut off the fleshy leaves with a semi-lignified portion at the base, let them dry slightly, then insert them into a sand bed; they root in 20-25 days.
