Plant Care & Growing Tips

Caring for your see-through haworthia succulents is straightforward, ensuring they remain healthy and vibrant for years to come. These resilient plants are well-suited for indoor environments and require specific conditions to thrive, similar to other rare haworthia plants. Providing the right light, water, and soil will encourage their unique transparency to flourish.

For light, Haworthias prefer bright, indirect sunlight. A north or east-facing window is often ideal, or a spot a few feet away from a south or west-facing window. Avoid harsh direct afternoon sun, especially during the summer months, as this can scorch their delicate leaves and diminish the transparency. While they can tolerate lower light, too little light may cause them to stretch or lose their compact form. When it comes to watering, less is more. Allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings, typically every 2-3 weeks, but always check the soil moisture before watering again. During winter dormancy, reduce watering frequency significantly. Overwatering is the most common cause of succulent demise, leading to root rot. If you’re wondering about a comprehensive haworthia care guide, remember adequate drainage is paramount.

The right soil is crucial for these succulents. Use a well-draining cactus/succulent mix, which often includes perlite or pumice to enhance drainage. Standard potting soil retains too much moisture and can be detrimental. These plants prefer temperatures between 60–85°F (15–29°C) and should be protected from frost. They are generally suited for USDA zones 9–11 if grown outdoors, but thrive as indoor plants in most climates. Fertilization is rarely needed; a diluted succulent fertilizer once in spring during the growing season is sufficient. Repotting is only necessary when the plant outgrows its container, usually every 2-3 years. Ensure the new pot also has drainage holes. After receiving your plants, allow them to acclimate for 1-2 days before potting them in fresh, well-draining soil.
