I recently purchased a HAWORTHIA COOPERI VAR. TRUNCATA (thank you), and I was looking up how to take care of it and under "Seasonality" is the term "Summer Dormant Partial".
I know that means that a plant that is dormant is not actively growing, but what is partial about it? Is the plant growing slowly, or does it mean something else? See more »

It really depends on your environmental conditions. Haworthia can slow down (partial dormancy) or temporarily stop growing (full dormancy) in response to high heat and drought. This is their natural cycle in the wild, but it doesn't always translate perfectly in cultivation, especially if you grow your Haworthia indoors.

Outdoor Haworthia can go dormant during especially hot, dry summers. If you're growing Haworthia indoors or in a mild climate, it will not go dormant and you can water it deeply whenever the soil is completely dry and the leaves feel less firm.

Nope! In practice, they often don't even go dormant outdoors in cultivation, because the sun/heat/drought is not as extreme as they experience in the wild. And conditions are far more temperate still when you grow it indoors.

Good question! Many Haworthia have raised white spots or lines called "tubercles". They're normal and healthy.

If however, you mean white spots on Haworthia that don't naturally have white spots, you might be looking at mealybugs. They can form white, cottony infestations on succulents. To treat, thouroughly spray your plant with 70% isopropyl alcohol, gettinginto all the crevices. Continue to treat daily until you see no more mealybugs.

If you feel like neither of these are correct, feel free to email a photo of your plant to info@mountaincrestgardens.com and we can try to diagnose it. I'll also attach a link below to our FAQ page on pests and diseases if you're looking for more info.

Yes, Haworthia do bloom! Their bloom stalks tend to be very long with small whitish flowers. Blooming shows you're doing a great job of caring for your Haworthia!

Yes. Haworthia like soil that is much grittier than string succulents. Try mixing the bagged succulent soil 1:1 with pumice, perlite or whatever kind of grit you prefer.

Shop Succulent Soil Here

Succulents need grittier soil than other plants because they are adapted to dry conditions and store water in their leaves. Regular potting soil mixes stay damp for long periods of time, which can cause rot in succulents. Instead, use a sandy, well-draining soil so you can water thoroughly without leaving your succulent in standing water.

Our plants can be transplanted immediately upon arrival.
If you want to wait to transplant, they can remain in their original containers for up to a month. If the pots came in a plastic carrier tray, remove the pots from the carrier tray prior to the first watering.

Keep the plants indoors near a sunny window or outdoors under a roof (only if outdoor temperatures stay above your succulent's minimum hardiness temperature). Water only after the soil is fully dry by drenching from above with a faucet, hose, or watering can. Gently shake excess water from the leaves and allow containers to drain completely.

Fertilizing is not necessary, but it is a good option for succulent growers who want to encourage faster, larger growth. It can be used on mature plants with established roots. Only fertilize in the growing season (spring and summer for most varieties) to avoid weakening or burning dormant plants. Use a light touch and make 2-3 applications of low-Nitrogen, diluted fertilizer each year (N-P-K ratio around 5-10-10). You can find specially-formulated cactus / succulent fertilizers in most garden centers or go organic with compost tea or bone meal.

Example: Miracle-Gro Quick Start, diluted to half strength
