Thank you for this informative video. I will change my haworthia soil mix to a more airy one as I find that the roots almost' disappeared ' eventually . Will haworthias rot if water is accidentally spilt in the centre during watering ? Hope you reply. Thank you.

[@johnnyAGardening]

They should not rot with a little water, however try to avoid watering the foliage on the plants to be on the safe side.

[@annwalla891]

Love the video and this great plant! Can you tell us what type of fertilizer you are using? Thanks

[@johnnyAGardening]

It is Osmocote Plus with some lime and a little pure nitrogen fertiliser. ONLY a small pinch, once a year, never over fertilise

Thanks so much!

[@margaretneilson3301]

Excellent video, I’ve learnt a lot

[@kenjiro2676]

All my Haworthias are potted similarly to Lithops using mostly grit with very little dirt. My mix is composed of chicken/chick grit(both), pumice, and a small portion of garden soil. An 80/20 ratio of grit to soil.

[@johnnyAGardening]

That sounds ideal, the mix you use would work well. WE are doing a seperate video on potting mixes for succulents soon. The actual mix depends on the succulent, your climate and your watering habits.

[@jackiejenkins4078]

Very interesting information. 🙂

[@jmcastro8621]

Hi there. I was wondering what soil mix you use? I’m a beginner and I use a mostly inorganic mix of pumice, lavarock, cns, and akadama. But yours seem to have more plant material in it. I was hoping to get a few tips on making my mix better. Thank you.

[@johnnyAGardening]

Hello Jim, in the notes below the video is a list of the ingredients used to make up the mix, along with some other resources.

[@sweepeckquek6890]

Can you re-use the old potting mix, for example, by adding some fertilizer, or treating it somehow? What do you do with all that old soil?

[@johnnyAGardening]

Its best to at least mix 50% new soil when repotting, most growers use all new mix, The old soil can be used in the garden or in pots for less fussy plants.

[@michellec.4994]

So this needs a deeper pot? I have one in a 3in pot... I think it's time to repot!!!

Question: do you think the Haworthia would travel all right. There are some online sales, but I am afraid of the stress of the traveling for them. What do you think. I live in Switzerland.

[@lorrihager1057]

Do you sell Haworthia and your potting mix. I’m in US. I LOVE HAWORTHIA. Thank you for this video. It has helped me a lot. I’m just starting with these plants. I need all the help I can get.

[@andrewbee82]

Hi my biggest doubt is alway the potting mix... now I’ve bought what I could find and it’s: pomice 3-8mm, lapillo (lava rock) 2-10mm, washes river sand 1-8mm, Perlite , coco coir, compost/peat moss potting soil. Now I’ve prepared a 2/3-1/3 grit to soil using 1 part of each of these 6 ingredients but it weights too much. DOES weight count? Is it a problem if the substrate is heavy in weight even when dry?

[@johnnyAGardening]

Its hard to tell, however if it drains quickly and does not hold water then it should be OK. I think that ratios could be adjusted so here is the ratio of the ingredients that James uses. Haworthia potting mix * 6 parts succulent soil mix * 2 coir (coarse) * 1 part 3ml washed river sand * 1 part 1-3ml blend washed river sand (no clay or fines) * 1 part perlite * 1 part either 4 - 5 ml Scoria or 3 - 6 ml Pumice.

[@halamanniboytech8724]

Hi Good Day, may I ask how many months will it take to readily pluck the baby haworthia away from his mother. Thanks Keep Safe and Godbless😊

It is really a matter of size, once you feel it may have developed its own roots its ready. Will try to demonstrate that in the next Haworthia video.

Thanks ✌️

[@pipoypam3812]

I have a few varieties of haworthias (cooperi, truncata, reinwardtii, etc) that ive had for years. I personally like the full/clumped look but I’m starting to worry that leaving them in a tight clump will eventually kill them if i dont separate and repot. Thoughts? Thanks PS i love your videos and your accent is so soothing!

[@johnnyAGardening]

We agree that they can look good in clumps and in nature they grow like this. After a long time in a clump they can start to deteriorate due to over overcrowding, however as to how long, its hard to tell. So eventually you will need to divide them to keep them healthy. We guess you have repotted them as this also keeps them healthy because over time the growing medium deteriorates. In a good growing medium we have seen them go for five years with no real problems. So its up to you as to how long you leave them, but eventually you will need to divide them to keep them looking good

[@christmassnow3465]

Great video! Love the way they look. Mine are grown in a hot Mediterranean climate. I know that watering should be withheld in the peak of summer (July to August in Northern hemisphere), but they are more susceptible to shriveling and drying at that time. Do you have hot summers too? How do you treat them at this time?

[@johnnyAGardening]

We have hot summers as well, a Mediterranean climate but more moderate to hot than hot. In very hot summers and as thy are probably in containers which will dry more than if in the ground, I would think a little water once in a while will not hurt them, just don't overdo it. I will have a talk to James Lucas and get back to you.

[@andrewbee82]

johnny A mine has grown like crazy this very hot summer. They are outside but behind a tent. We had 38-40•Celsius

[@yodouble2]

Thank you for these videos. I’m so new to this and so excited to start growing succulents. I tried to find pine bark and it seems like the places I went did not carry bark that was a perfect size for a soil. It was all a medium. Would any type of mulch work for this concoction? Also I can seem to fined River sand. I just found some sandy clay. Would that clay work as a substitute? Thank you for your help. I really appreciate it.

[@johnnyAGardening]

Try for a sand that does not include clay, so any washed sand that is not sea (beach) sand. As a pine bark substitute, rice husks or course perlite should work. Where are you located ?

[@yodouble2]

johnny A Ok thank you. The only perlite I see Putin the stores are from the brand Miraclegro. So I did end up buying some clay that’s grinder into sand. So I will take that back then. So any washed sand that has no clay is what I will look for. I am located out of Fresno California. Central Ca.

[@johnnyAGardening]

[@annparisi]

Great videos actually showing what to look for and how to pot is so much more valuable. Is there a particular fertiliser/ commercial mix you would recommend for the home gardener just starting to build a collection of succulents or is it better to do a diy mix. Also great to see an Aussie vid for us soles in the land down under too many of the videos on KZbin are international and refer to products we can not always get here.

James uses a pinch of 9 month osmocote and a pinch of lime.

Hello - thank you for the top information - what I wanted to ask you - when and how do you water your haworthias after repotting them? Regards and thank you for your response in advance Greetings from Vienna

[@johnnyAGardening]

Usually wait 1 - 2 weeks after repotting and then overhead water. This allows any root damage to repair itself if dry conditions, which helps prevent root problems. After that wait until the soil dries before watering again.

Hi Johny i have one & i gave 30% Stones 30% compost soil 10% Stones 10% Perlit 10% sand 5% cocopit 5% leaves compost, today one plant died & i compare with others , the soil looks more wet. How it is?

[@johnnyAGardening]

Haworthia really need a very free draining soil and a pot with a good sized drainage hole. Difficult to tell without seeing the actual mix, at a guess I would use less compost and always allow the mix to dry between waterings. The soil may look wet, however it drains very freely and the plants are not watered very often, maybe once a month or even longer depending on the weather.
