Haworthia 'Superfasciata'

Care of Haworthia Superfasciata

Light :

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

Soil :

• It needs a well-drained soil, recommended for cacti and succulents.
• A mixture of all-purpose soil with coarse sand or perlite is ideal to prevent waterlogging.

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 often.
• Excess water can cause root rot and fungal diseases.

Temperature :

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

Humidity :

• It prefers an environment with low or moderate humidity.
• High humidity can favor 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 damage the plant.

Replanting :

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

Propagation :

• It is easily propagated by separating the young (small rosettes) that appear at the base of the plant.
• The seedlings must be planted in a dry and well-drained substrate.
