Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings. Overwatering is the most common cause of death for Haworthiopsis coarctata. Water thoroughly when the soil is dry, and ensure good drainage to prevent root rot.
Reduce watering significantly during winter dormancy.
Pruning is generally not necessary for Haworthiopsis coarctata. Remove any dead or dried leaves at the base of the plant using clean scissors or a knife.
If the plant becomes overcrowded, offsets can be removed during repotting.
Offsets (pups) are the easiest method of propagation. Gently separate offsets from the mother plant during repotting. Allow the cut surface to callus over for a few days before planting in well-draining soil.
Pups will root and grow into new plants.
Repot Haworthiopsis coarctata every 2-3 years or when the pot becomes too crowded with offsets. Use a well-draining succulent or cactus mix.
Choose a pot that is only slightly larger than the current root ball, with drainage holes.
