Water: Haworthias thrives in arid environments with high drought tolerance. It requires infrequent watering, ideally once every three weeks, to prevent root rot. Primarily grown indoors, haworthias adapts well to container living, where careful water management mimics its natural dry conditions.
Propagation: Propagating haworthias is straightforward, using offsets, leaf cuttings, or seeds. Key conditions include warmth, indirect sunlight, and well-draining soil. Preferably, separate offsets carefully and allow healing before potting. For leaf cuttings, callus before planting. Ensure moderate watering and avoid direct sunlight.
