Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Allow soil to dry out completely between waterings. Water thoroughly, letting excess drain away. Reduce watering significantly in winter to prevent root rot.
Overwatering is the most common cause of problems for this succulent.
Pruning is generally not required for Haworthiopsis fasciata. Remove any dead or dried leaves at the base of the plant with clean scissors or a knife.
This helps maintain the plant's aesthetic appeal and prevents potential disease.
Easily propagated from offsets (pups) that grow around the base of the mother plant. Gently separate the offsets when they are a few centimeters tall and have developed their own roots.
Allow the cut end to callus for a day before potting in well-draining soil.
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 one. Spring is the ideal time for repotting.
