Potting soil: when repotting in April-May each year, cut off the shriveled dead leaves at the base of the plant and the overly long fibrous roots. Shallow planting is best for pots, and the potting soil should be a mix of leaf mold and coarse sand. Keep the potting soil slightly moist during the growing period.

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

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

Propagation methods of the zebra haworthia

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

Division: can be done year-round; when repotting in April-May, peel off the young plants growing beside the mother plant and pot them directly.
