Haworthia cooperi Care Tips

Repot every spring, and clean away the shriveled dead leaves under the leaf rosette and overly long fibrous roots. Use a mixed soil of peat soil, potting soil, and coarse sand for the potting soil, adding a small amount of bone meal. During the growing season, keep the potting soil slightly moist. In summer when temperatures are high, the plant is in a semi-dormant state, so provide appropriate shade, water less, and keep the potting soil dry. In autumn, when the leaves resume growth, keep the potting soil moist. In winter, strictly control watering. During the growing season, fertilize once a month with diluted cake fertilizer water or "Huiyou" 15-15-30 special fertilizer for potted flowers.

Haworthia cooperi Propagation Methods

Seeding: sow indoors in pots in spring, with an optimum germination temperature of 21-24°C, and germination occurs two weeks after sowing.

Division: can be done throughout the year, often during repotting in April-May in spring, by separating the young plants around the mother plant and potting them up. Cuttings: carried out in May-June, mainly by leaf cuttings. Cut off the leaves, let them dry slightly, and then insert them for rooting.
