Haworthia Superfasciata Care

Light:

• Prefers bright indirect light or filtered sun.
• Can tolerate direct morning light but must be protected from strong midday sun, which can burn the leaves.
• In an environment with insufficient light, the plant may become etiolated (elongated and deformed).

Soil:

• Needs well-drained soil, recommended for cacti and succulents.
• A mix of universal soil with coarse sand or perlite is ideal to prevent water accumulation.

Watering:

• Water the plant only when the soil is completely dry, usually once every 2-3 weeks in the warm season.
• Reduce watering in the cold season, once a month or even less.
• Excess water can cause root rot and fungal diseases.

Temperature:

• Thrives best at temperatures between 15°C and 25°C.
• Does not tolerate frost; ensure temperatures above 10°C throughout the year.

Humidity:

• Prefers an environment with low to moderate humidity.
• High humidity can promote the development of fungi and pests.

Fertilization:

• Apply a weak fertilizer for cacti and succulents once a month during the growing season (spring and summer).
• Avoid excessive fertilization, which can harm the plant.

Repotting:

• Repot every 2-3 years or when the plant outgrows the pot.
• Use a pot with drainage holes and fresh substrate.

Propagation:

• It propagates easily by separating the pups (small rosettes) that appear at the base of the plant.
• The pups should be planted in a dry and well-drained substrate.

Height with pot included approx. 12 cm.
