Light Requirements | Place your Haworthia in bright, indirect sunlight. Direct sunlight can scorch the leaves, while too little light can cause elongation and color loss. However, if natural light is insufficient, Haworthia plants also do well under fluorescent lights. |

Watering Needs | Water your plants sparingly, allowing the soil to dry out completely between waterings. These plants dislike too much water and cannot tolerate wet feet. Overwatering Haworthias can also easily lead to root rot. You must further reduce watering in the winter months when the plant’s growth slows down. |
Soil Preferences | Use a well-draining Cactus and Succulent Mix that will ensure adequate drainage and aeration for your indoor succulents. Adding sand or perlite can also enhance drainage. |
Temperature and Humidity | Haworthia plants thrive in temperatures between 60°F and 80°F (15°C to 27°C). These plants prefer low to moderate humidity levels, making them suitable for Indian indoor environments, without you having to do anything extra to accommodate them. |
Propagating Haworthia | Propagation can be done through offsets, leaf cuttings, or seeds. The most common method is separating offsets, which grow at the base of the parent plant. |
