Highlights

Haworthia maraisii var. maraisii (von Poellnitz): An old, variable species with roughly textured leaves. This variety has flattened, retuse leaf tips with translucent "leaf windows" and a scabrid feel. The long, recurved leaves clump more tightly together in dry, sunny conditions. Short, stiff cilia line the margins and keels of the leaves. Grow this one with direct sun to see its dark purple stress colors.

Haworthia are able to tolerate low, indoor light, making them excellent houseplants, even for beginners. They are particularly easy to grow and rarely affected by common succulent pests and diseases. Strong, drought-tolerant roots will grow if they have great drainage and infrequent water. Pick deep containers with drainage holes and a gritty, well-draining soil that is 50% to 70% mineral grit (coarse sand, pumice, or perlite). Water deeply enough for water to run out the drainage hole and allow the soil to completely dry before watering again.

This genus tolerates high heat by slowing down and eventually going dormant in the peak of summer. This means that, unlike other succulents, it is important not to over-water or fertilize during summer dormancy and water a bit more frequently in the winter growing season. Haworthia are slow growers and tend to stay small in pots, but they will produce new offsets in clumps around their bases. These offsets can be left to develop into a dense clump or pulled off and transplanted.
