Highlights
Haworthia / Haworthiopsis reinwardtii f. chalumnensis (Bayer): A good-looking, easy grower that resembles the Zebra Plants, H. fasciata and H. attenuata. This form from Chalumna, South Africa has stiff, pointed leaves and a thick stem. The foliage has raised, white bumps that form weak bands across the leaves. Moderate stress from drought and direct sun can induce copper to red flushing of the plant.
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.
