All about Haworthia - plus a unicorn comes my way | Plant with Roos

[@plantwithroos]

Do you like haworthia? Any questions about them? Pop them down and we'll get back to you! SInce i know everything about haworthia now haha :) xx

[@alona270]

Does it needs a special water ph or just tap water is ok?

[@plantwithroos]

Thanks for your question, i'll let Rogier answer this

[@maaikecoenen5350]

Hi! Another watering question😊 Do you top- or bottom water them? I normaly bottom water eighter because they take up all the room in the pot, or because I understand that they really don't like water between the leaves. But I am not sure if that is correct🤷🏻‍♀️ I'm a know succulant killer🤦🏻‍♀️

[@RogiervanVugt1]

@@maaikecoenen5350 I always top water them. Because with watering from below the soil can get very saturated (you can only do this when you use small pots). water between the leaves is only a problem if there is a build up of dust and bacteria on the leaves and in the plants center. so if you water from above a lot this is never an issue. however the drops should be gone within a few hours. stagnating water in the heart of the rosette can cause rot. I always water from above and use a tissue paper to such up excess water in the rosettes

Been growing Haworthia for many years now & am so happy to finally see them get the attention they deserve!!!

[@debraswank1542]

Thank you for so much information. I particularly enjoyed hearing Rogier’s comment that you have to kill a plant in order to learn how to take care of it. Also appreciated hearing that he only grows succulents (Haworthia) and orchids at his home due to time constraints.

[@plantwithroos]

Thank you for watching!

[@juniperparla3584]

Great video! I love watching you and Roger, lovely setting and he is fun to listen to with all the knowledge and the way he delivers it 😊 More dynamic duo videos with Rogier please 🙏🏼😁💜 and congrats on the unicorn 🦄💚🎉

Haha thank you I totally agree! He's great at making learning fun! Thanks!!

[@ClaudiaRodriguez-yq1qx]

It's always nice to listen to the experts like Roger. I would love more videos with experts cause they have so much to teach 😊😊

[@erikm8372]

They’re amazing miniature Aloe relatives, specifically from the Cape and the fynbos (of South Africa). Aloes can be found elsewhere, too… but Haworthia, nowhere else! Technically they’re lilies, in a way. They’re all in the same “lily” family, so Aloes, Haworthia, Gasteria, Gasteraloe, Aristaloe, Aloinopsis, Allium, all the various types of onions, daylilies (Hemerocallis), Peruvian lilies (Alstroemeria), red-hot pokers (Kniphofia), etc, you’ll notice almost all flower similarly and have similarly arranged leaves! It’s crazy!

[@Ch33Ch22]

Another great video Roos! Always enjoy watching. I may have missed it and if I did I'm sorry but did Rogier mention if haworthia require any food or fertiliser?

[@RogiervanVugt1]

they do need some fertilizer but still grow fine if you don't. but than the plant will more or less stay the same size.

And now you must give us all monthly updates on the status of your Haworthia - And then watch your collection of Haworthias grow just as did your collection of Hoyas.

[@plantwithroos]

Haha I will give updates, tho monthly might not be interesting as they're much slower than my other plants 😅 and we'll see what happens, I'll never say never again cos you know how far went with hoya

[@alona270]

Hahaha thank you so much for this video. Idk.. I always find myself wanting to water my succulents toooooo much. The think that scares me most of repotting cacti and succulents, are there any tips?

[@plantwithroos]

Thank you very much! I'll let Rogier answer your question cos I literally have no idea

[@RogiervanVugt1]

if you think you cant help watering to much just use smaller pots and a coarser growing medium. Potting succulents like these and cacti should never scare you except the spines of some .;) best they are repotted in the beginning of the growing season. (And this differs per species) but is most often spring.

[@stephanycrestwood4943]

lucky! two plants!

Right?! And both are still doing great and have made many babies

[@EliezaBaby]

Yes more of him . He need a KZbin account . I want to more about aroid and the history behind variegation if its natural mutation or force mutations ? And how to keep its variegation.

[@plantwithroos]

I will try but Rogier is not generally impressed by or interested in variegation from what I can tell 😅

[@RogiervanVugt1]

The sound is so much better

[@catarinaanjos7603]

Thank you so much for sharing all this information. I enjoyed particularly the snippet about Corybas in the last video and would love to know more about the care you give them. Do you have them just in pure sphagnum or do you add anything else to the substrate? Do you keep them in that netted container or do you prefer a more closed set up for even higher humidity? Does your care routine change much when they go dormant? I am really sorry to bombard you with questions but I killed the only one I managed to get and would love to have some more insight before I try them again.

[@RogiervanVugt1]

@@catarinaanjos7603 Corybas can be found from the Himalayas all the way down to Macquarie island south of Australia and live in a range of habitats so the soil differs per species. I grow most in sphagnum with some perlite. but the Australian ones prefer a sandy mix. I grow all of them in closed zip lock bags and this way I hardly ever have to disturb them. The resting again is different per species. if a species looses its leaves completely you can let the soil dry out (almost) completely while others stay green year round and require the same routine year round too. No problem about the questions. I often post growing advice per species on my Instagram page and there is also a whole Facebook group dedicated to these plants and their culture.

[@catarinaanjos7603]

@@RogiervanVugt1 Thank you so much Rogier for your pointers. The only one I ever had was one of the SE Asia ones, a geminigibbus (likely from continental Malaysia). I believe I know where I failed, I certainly didn't provide it with the humidity it needed and I think it got way drier that it should have been when went dormant, but I will certainly try again when I come across some. Unfortunately I am unable to check your IG or the FB group as I don't have social media accounts. And, by the way, good job with the greenhouses and the garden overall (the entire city is quite lovely actually), it is just a shame that such a big part of the collection is not available to the general public due to thefts (I must admit I spent quite some time glued to the glass trying to peak inside).

[@Khristos13]

Nice info for a new haworthia owner 😊 Btw u kinda sound like Mirabel from 'Encanto', esp the short 'Okay'.

[@dummyarteel.y.1551]

The second 'i' in for example Haworthia Bobbii actually means Bobbi's Haworthia. So Bobbi probably discovered or cultivated this Haworthia.

[@luanaandradedutra]

Hi! So it’s okay to grow haworthias in ceramic or clay pots? I always see people with plastic pots, and I don’t know if ceramic would be good for them. Thanks!

[@plantwithroos]

i dont know! Rogier might have an answer..

[@plantwithroos]

I asked Rogier for you and he says: He finds them to grow better in plastic, but that is in the home. In a greenhouse or outside clay works too. But then also remember, a small pot is best!' I hope that helps :)

I was very interested in his views on the pronunciation of "ii" at the end of Latin names. Not sure if I will be able to change how I pronounce it though. I am English, as he said😅, and went to horticultural colleges for RHS Diploma and the "ee i" pronunciation was what I was taught. But what Rogier says makes sense. These videos with him are very enjoyable.

[@plantwithroos]

Oh that's so interesting that it was taught to you that way! I guess if you're an English speaker you're fine keeping it as is 😅 I changed mine since this video, now I'm used to it. These are very old videos so the quality (video, audio) has improved a lot but I'm glad you're still enjoying them

Op zich maak je erg leuke video's over planten, maar één ding begrijp ik echt niet... Jij ben Nederlandse, je maakt veel video's in Nederland, zoals hier dus ook weer in Leiden. Ik begrijp redelijk Engels, maar als het te snel gaat of te "technisch " wordt het allemaal wat moeilijker. Waarom maak jij als Nederlandse deze niet in het Nederlands ??? [ schaam jij je voor je eigen taal ??] Doe er dan een Engelse ondertiteling bij als je zo nodig "internationaal" wilt gaan. Of in het aller slechtste geval een Nederlandse ondertiteling. Groeten Hans ---

[@plantwithroos]

Hoi Hans, vervelend dat je Engels niet prettig vind. Mijn kijkers zijn grotendeels niet Nederlands, plus het is veel inclusiever om Engels te doen. Gelukkig zijn er genoeg kanalen die videos maken in het Nederlands.

[@hansem3988]

@@plantwithroos Ik vind dit een beetje slap antwoord Roos!! Jij bent NEDERLANDS , dus doe er dan een Engelse ondertiteling bij. Of doe er anders een Nederlandse ondertiteling bij. Dat zou toch ook een goede oplossing zijn? ---

[@RogiervanVugt1]

Jemig Hans. Misschien was het je niet opgevallen. Maar KZbin en het internet in het algemeen zijn internationaal. Het is juist superfijn dat dit soort filmpjes in het engels zijn. Want als Finse filmpjes allemaal in het Fins zouden zijn en Thaise in het Thais was er voor ons allemaal veel minder te beleven. Nederlands is internationaal gezien geen belangrijke taal. Dus dat de Nederlandse Roos filmpjes in het Engels maakt, zodat ze de hele wereld over kunnen is juist iets om trots op te zijn toch?

Dan kijk je toch naar Nederlandse video's? Mensen bereiken graag een groot publiek en dat gaat niet in het Nederlands

@@RogiervanVugt1 Maar dan kan er toch tenminste wel een Nederlandse vertaling onder?? Ik ben trots op mijn eigen taal, maar via dit soort media wordt dat allemaal "kapot" gemaakt. En dat Roos ook zegt dat er veel minder Nederlandse kijkers zijn, komt waarschijnlijk door het gebruik van Engels en het niets eens ondertitelen in het Nederlands !! ---
