Allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings. Overwatering is a common cause of root rot. Water thoroughly when the leaves feel slightly soft or less turgid.

Reduce watering significantly during the winter dormancy period to prevent waterlogged soil.

Pruning is generally not required for Haworthia cymbiformis, as it is a slow-growing, compact succulent. Remove any dead or dried leaves at the base of the plant to maintain its aesthetic appeal and prevent potential pest issues.

Propagate by offsets (pups) that grow from the base of the mother plant. Gently separate the offsets when they are a reasonable size and allow the cut end to callus over for a few days before planting in well-draining soil.

Repot every 2-3 years or when the plant becomes crowded in its pot. Use a well-draining succulent or cactus mix. Choose a pot that is only slightly larger than the current root ball to avoid excessive moisture retention.
