Water
Allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings. Overwatering is the most common cause of problems. In winter, reduce watering significantly to prevent root rot.
Water thoroughly when you do water, ensuring excess drains away.

Water thoroughly when you do water, ensuring excess drains away.
Pruning is generally not required for Haworthia cooperi. Remove any dead or dried leaves at the base of the plant to maintain tidiness and prevent potential pest issues. This helps improve air circulation.
Easily propagated from offsets (pups) that grow around the base of the mother plant. Carefully separate the pups when they are a reasonable size, allow them to callous for a day or two, and then pot them in well-draining succulent mix.
Repot every 2-3 years or when the plant becomes root-bound. Use a well-draining succulent or cactus potting mix. Choose a pot that is only slightly larger than the current root ball.
Repot in spring before active growth begins.
