Lighting Requirements
Haworthia limifolia variegata prefers bright, filtered light. Position it near a filtered sun window or light window. It can stand some limited direct sun, but too much direct sun will cause its leaves to become red or brown. If grown indoors, rotation of the plant every now and then will ensure even growth.
Watering and Soil
Avoid root rot by always giving it well-draining soil. Plant in a cactus or succulent potting mix. Water freely but not often, and let the soil dry out completely between waterings. Water fortnightly in really hot weather, and monthly in winter. Use a base-holed pot at all times to prevent waterlogging. Nerine lily can be a good partner
Haworthia limifolia variegata Temperature and Humidity
Haworthia prefers temperatures between 65°F to 80°F. Although it will do well at cooler temperatures, it should never be left out in the open during frost. If the temperature drops to below 50°F, bring the plant indoors. Because it enjoys dry air, place it away from very damp spaces, including bathrooms and kitchens.
Haworthia limifolia variegata Fertilizing and Repotting
Fertilize Haworthia with a half-strength succulent fertilizer every month in spring and early fall. Never fertilize in winter because the plant will be dormant. Repotting is rare, but if the plant outgrows its pot, repot it in a slightly larger pot with fresh soil.
Haworthia limifolia variegata Propagation and Care
Haworthia produces small offsets, or “pups,” that can be cut off and used for propagation. Gently remove them from the mother plant, dry them out for one day, and pot them up in dry potting mix. To keep it looking neat, take off dead and wrinkled leaves.
Lastly, with good care, Haworthia is a beautiful, low-maintenance houseplant that will add personality to any room. With the right conditions, you can appreciate its unusual beauty for many years to come.
