Haworthia Care Guide | How I Care for my Haworthia Succulent Plants

This was worth the wait, Sweetheart! The video came out so professional. The nerdy me is so happy. 😂 I know this took almost a year to complete, compiling footages and research materials and waiting for your plants to cooperate with your plan. I am so very proud of you. Love watching with you, as always. Loved Arnie’s cameo too! ❤️🌼🌺🌸🌵🤗😘💚

Thank you so much, Serge 😊 I wasn’t originally going to make an intro for this video, but after hearing your music it inspired me to create one for this video. Thank you so much again. Have a wonderful day from Edith & myself 👍🏻🌵☀️🏜🎶

[@CactusCaffeine]

Been waiting for this video but it was worth the long wait. Great footages you have here. It is very comprehensive too. 👍🏼 Haworthia may not be able to withstand direct sunlight but they can withstand extreme heat. From experience, as long as they are in shade, they will withstand temperatures over 110F/43.3C. They will go dormant but they will survive. That is why Haworthias are among the few fleshy succulents that I grow in the desert. Next video… Haworthia propagation! 😃 Excellent video, Daz. Your Haworthia collection is impressive.

[@Cactimania]

Thank you so much, Ana 😊 Yes they can take high temperatures, it’s when the nighttime temperatures are consistently high that it can really stress them out. This summer when nighttime temps were high a lot of my Haworthia actually looked pretty bad, now we’re into autumn and it’s much cooler they’re looking much better. Thank you for watching and commenting as always, Ana. Have a wonderful day from Edith & myself 🌵☀️🌸🌺🌼🏜☕️

That was very enjoyable, and packed with great information That's the main reason I enjoy your vids and know that you Are in the same country as me. And so a question on the pumice, you say clean,sterile, and reuse, Something I have done for a few year's while growing orchids., My method of cleaning is to place in a porous bag and simply Put the bag in the dishwasher! As for sterilizing I never have. So ,now that I will be going from one type of plant to another Your method of sterilisation please. Well done as always Daz,a joy to watch. ,Bill.

[@Cactimania]

I tend not to reuse any material now, but when I did I simply sterilised it with boiling water. The only time I’d reuse potting mix now is if the plant hasn’t been in it for long, but six months or more I’ll just discard it.

Great job! I love Haworthia and have been expanding my collection this year. I keep most of mine in pots on a shady shelf outdoors. As you mentioned they are small plants so having them in pots make them easier to look at. Though I do have 3 of them planted in the ground and it got down to 0°C last winter and they were just fine at this temperature. Thanks for making this video, i'm sure I will reference in the future.

[@Cactimania]

Thank you so much, David 😊 Yeah quite a few will tolerate cold temperatures, from what I read it’s if they’re exposed to very cold temperatures and frost for long periods it can be detrimental to them. Pretty much all of mine have never been exposed to low temperatures so it would probably be a bit of a shock to them if they were lol. Glad you enjoyed the video.

Hi Daz , very helpful video. I have a few Haworthia: Haworthia attenuata , coartica , Prince Albert, pumila, and a couple unnamed varieties . I’m a novice at this so I followed the potting soil requirements from videos , given them bright light inside and out , but only one is thriving and noticeably growing while the others have barely changed. ( I’ve had them slightly more than a year , maybe two) I put them out on my shaded front porch when they weren’t growing inside, but it’s been So hot this summer ( night time temps over 90 degrees , daytime over 105 everyday! ) so I brought them inside on my N.East windowsill and 3 more under a grow light. ( they’ve been inside now for 2 weeks) I have only misted them because I was afraid they were probably dormant and started a foliage spray feeding too. I suspect my tap water is the culprit ( our Dallas water is loaded with fluorides and chlorine ). Do you think that is why my Haworthias are not growing ? Sorry for the long comment, just trying to find answers.

[@Cactimania]

Yeah I’d certainly recommend using rain water if you can. Some Haworthia can go dormant during very hot weather, especially if nighttime temperatures are high. Slow growth or no growth at all could be an issue with roots, a lot of Haworthia will go through a root shedding phase every year, especially if the mix they were growing in is completely changed to something new.

Great video! Interesting to hear it's best to water in the evening, I have been doing it by accident just because the evening is when I usually procrastinate going to sleep and end up looking over my plants :) . If I can ask, where did you get so many amazing species being in the UK? I find that when I try to look for sellers they're mostly from Asia, and apart from the shipping price being more than a pricy plant, I am worried about phytosanitary documents, plants coming into EU and all... I'd love to slowly get more interesting varieties when I get more space for them.

[@Cactimania]

Thank you, glad you enjoyed 😊 I think the best place to buy Haworthia from in the UK is Ian’s Haworthia.

[@markdcmountp]

@@Cactimania Thanks so much for your reply 👍🏼 I’m brand new to these types of Haworthia and recently bought 8 of them bare root that I need to get potted. All I have is Bonsai Jack Gritty Mix, and an additional bag of pine bark. I’m not sure if you’re aware of Bonsai Jack Gritty Mix or not? But it already contains 30% pine coir as it’s organic component. I’ve had much success with it for the past 2 years with all my succulents for nearly 100% of the time and the other, much cheaper types of Haworthia I have (like Zebra Haworthia) are doing great with it. I’ve seen one person online mention adding additional pine bark to that mix for the type of Haworthia we’re talking about now, but since it already has 30% I’m wondering what you’re opinion might be seeing that you’re finding that the smaller amounts of organic material mixes are working best? 🙏 Thanks

[@markdcmountp]

On a side note..I’m totally blown away by the health and beauty of the Haworthia your showing here and if these are your plants I’d love to know if you’re ordering them from somewhere wonderful online that might ship to me here in the U.S.A.? It’s so hard to find such beautiful, healthy specimens in my experience thus far.

@@markdcmountp Yeah I’ve heard of Bonsai Jack, and if that’s working out well for you and your plants are liking it I’d carry on using it.

[@tomosdyke6462]

Quick question, my haworthia are going soft and shriveled, what is the cause? And how far should my 1000 watt led grow lights be from the plants?

[@Cactimania]

That’s usually a sign of dehydration and them wanting more water, but if you’re watering them and they’re still soft and shrivelled that can be a sign they’re dormant and not taking up that water. A 1000watt grow light for Haworthia is pretty strong, I wouldn’t have that any closer than about 25iches from the top of the plants. Thanks for watching and commenting 🌵☀️🌺🌼🏜

[@tracyhughes8233]

I have just brought a new Haworthia 'Savanna' home from Morrisons and as I was getting it out of the bag I caught one of the leaves and it has partially broken. Is this leaf now a gonna or can I band aid it as it's not completely severed it? If I remove the leaf completely, will this encourage it to grow a pup there instead? Or will it always remain a leaf missing? I am a novice so haven't got a clue!

It might completely heal, or the plant could possibly purge it. Either way it’s a good idea to leave it and not pull it off completely. It might grow a pup from there depending on the species, some Haworthia remain solitary. If the leaf is lost then over time you won’t notice as the plant grows.

I've just sown quite a few Haworthia seeds of various types. Where would you say is the best position for them for optimal growth for the first year? I have a south facing windowsill (UK) using shade cloth, north facing windowsill, a Spider Farmer SF300 33W growlight in a small grow tent giving 8000 lux or under growlight with shade cloth giving 3000 lux? They are currently in my grow tent with cacti seedlngs but I'm thinking they may be happier on a south facing windowsill using a shade cloth to keep off direct sun, it'll be cooler than the grow tent. What do you reckon? Cheers!

[@Cactimania]

I'd personally have them on the south facing window. That's where most of my Haworthia seedlings are. They don't get any direct sunlight, but on a table in-front of the window where they get bright indirect light. Haworthia seedlings will soon let you know if they're getting too much light, they'll soon develop a tan haha. You could always try both as an experiment, see which do better on the sill or in the tent under the light. Good luck with them. Thank you for watching and commenting 🌵☀🌼🌺🏜

[@MrGreenpaulo]

Cheers! The south facing windowsill is their new home, bonus is that there's more room in the tent now for even more cacti seeds! lol

[@CrayonConoisseur]

Do you find that root growth differs from haworthia (white roots) vs haworthiopsis (orange roots)? For me, haworthiopsis grow a bit faster than their soft leafed variants.

[@Cactimania]

Yeah I have found that also. They certainly produce their offsets faster. Thanks for watching and commenting 🌵☀️🌺🌼🌸🏜

[@tomosdyke6462]

Quick question everyone, how would I apply garden safe fungicide 3 to my Haworthia's if some of them are stressed out others are shriveled up I mean do I just spray the plants, and spray around the roots and be done with it I need to know!!! PLEASE HELP!!!

[@Cactimania]

I have no experience with using that so hopefully someone can help you out regarding that. Thanks for watching and commenting 🌵☀️🌺🌼🏜

Have two Haworthia with puppies, should I wait till they are a good size before separating from the parent plant ?

[@Cactimania]

Yeah it’s always a good idea to wait until they’re a good size before removing them. Even better to wait until they have their own roots, too. Thanks for watching and commenting 🌵☀️🌼🌺🏜

Many thanks 👍

What sort of container do you use for your seedlings?

[@Cactimania]

You can use any sort of container as long as it has drainage holes. I sometimes use those trays that have mushrooms in you get from the supermarket and poke holes in the bottom for drainage. Thank you for watching and commenting 🌵☀️🌺🌼🏜

Magandang araw! very nice plants. I really love haworthia. But i would like to ask how do you video the plants while rotating and dark background? Do you have an Apps? Salamat po gwapo!

[@Cactimania]

Thank you 😊 I use an electric turntable for the rotating shots. To get the black background, it’s a combination of contrast/exposure settings on my camera as well as some post production editing. I also film those shots in a pitch black room with a single light source on the plants, in this case an LED spot light. Maraming salamat po sa comment at sa panonood 🌵☀️🌼🌺🏜

Hi can I use zeolite in my cactus?

[@Cactimania]

You can yes, I use it in my cactus mix as well. Thank you for watching and commenting 🌵☀️🌺🌼🏜

[@ralpha4957]

can i just plant my haworthia in my outdoor rock backyard? like in the wild not in a pot indoor

[@Cactimania]

If your conditions and environment are similar to their natural habitat then yes. If you get a lot of rain or very cold winters then they won’t survive. Thanks for watching and commenting 🌵☀️🌺🌼🏜

[@manasachodavarapu2084]

I am growing haworthia since 4 days. Now the color of the leaves are changing.plzz tell me what I have to do..

[@Cactimania]

Leaves changing colour is usually a sign of stress, from either cold, heat or light. Where do you keep your plants? What are the temperatures? Thanks for watching and commenting 🌵☀️🌼🌺🏜

[@manasachodavarapu2084]

@@Cactimania I am putting in direct sunlight for 3 hrs from 9 to 1 30 and then I am putting in shade

[@Cactimania]

@@manasachodavarapu2084 Depending on the strength of the sunlight it could be that that’s causing it. High temperatures can also cause them to change colour 🌵☀️🌺🌼🏜
