Care Tips for Haworthia fasciata

Potting mix: when repotting in April-May each year, cut off the shriveled dead leaves at the base of the plant and any overly long fibrous roots. For potted plants, shallow planting is best; use a mix of leaf mold and coarse sand as the potting soil. 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 stain the leaves.

Propagation Methods of Haworthia fasciata

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

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