Haworthia

Window plant

DifficultyEasy
SeasonYear-round
SucculentsA perennial

Meaning

Purity, something clear as glass

Leaf tips clear as crystal. Small, and sweet.

Safe for cats and dogs. Any plant can still upset a pet’s stomach if they eat a lot, so keep it out of reach.

Light

Bright, indirect light. No harsh sun.

Water

Bone-dry, then water through

Temperature

10-28°C

Feed

Rarely needed

Do this when you get home

  1. Put it by a bright window. Too much harsh sun reddens and dries the leaves.
  2. Use a very gritty mix. Water only when it's bone-dry.

Day to day

  • In summer heat it rests. Water less, and give it air.
  • With good light, the leaf windows stay clear and plump

Common questions

The leaves aren't see-through anymore?

Not enough light, or it's thirsty.
