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 Haworthia. Water thoroughly when dry, ensuring excess water drains away.
Reduce watering significantly during winter dormancy to prevent root rot.
Pruning is generally not required for Haworthia marumiana. Remove any dead or dried leaves at the base of the plant to maintain a tidy appearance and prevent potential disease.
Deadheading spent flower stalks can also be done if desired.
Easily propagated from offsets (pups) that form around the base of the mature plant. Gently separate the offsets when they are a reasonable size and have developed their own roots.
Allow the cut surface to callus for a few days before planting in well-draining soil.
Repot every 2-3 years, or when the plant becomes root-bound. Use a well-draining potting mix, such as a cactus or succulent blend. Choose a pot that is only slightly larger than the current root ball.
Spring is the ideal time for repotting.
