Planting & Care

When your starter plant arrives, transplant it into a pot with drainage holes using a well-draining succulent mix. Place the plant in a location that receives bright, indirect light. Water thoroughly, then allow the soil to dry out completely before watering again. During the growing season (spring and summer), water more frequently, but reduce watering in winter when growth slows.

Haworthia fasciata is sensitive to overwatering, so ensure the pot drains freely and never let the plant sit in water. Fertilize sparingly with a diluted succulent fertilizer once in spring. Protect from frost and extreme heat. With proper care, this charming succulent will thrive and may produce offsets that can be separated to propagate new plants.
