Haworthia Obtusa x Japan

Product Description

The Haworthia Obtusa, is a charming and distinctive succulent known for its compact rosette shape and attractive window-like translucent leaf tips. Haworthia Obtusa forms a tight, symmetrical rosette of fleshy, pointed leaves. The rosette can range from a few inches to several inches in diameter, depending on the age and care of the plant. The leaves of Haworthia Obtusa are typically dark green, although they may appear more translucent toward the tips. One of the most distinguishing features of this succulent is the translucent "windows" or leaf tips, which allow sunlight to filter through. These windows give the plant its unique appearance and lend a delicate, almost ethereal quality to the leaves. The leaves are thick and triangular, arranged in a spiral pattern around the central rosette. They have smooth surfaces and are often slightly pointed at the tips.

Care Guide:

To care for Haworthia Obtusa and keep it thriving, consider the following care guidelines:

1. Light: Provide bright, indirect sunlight for your Haworthia Obtusa. It can tolerate some direct morning sunlight but should be protected from intense, hot afternoon sun, which can cause leaf burn.

2. Temperature: Maintain temperatures between 65°F to 80°F (18°C to 27°C) during the growing season. Protect it from frost and cold drafts in the winter.

3. Watering: Water sparingly. Allow the top inch (2.5 cm) or more of the soil to dry out completely between waterings. Water less frequently during the winter months when the plant is in its dormant phase.

4. Soil: Plant your Haworthia Obtusa in a well-draining succulent or cactus potting mix. Ensure the container has drainage holes to prevent waterlogged roots.

5. Container: Use a pot with drainage holes to ensure proper drainage.

6. Fertilizing: Fertilize sparingly during the growing season (spring and summer) with a balanced, diluted liquid fertilizer. Apply fertilizer at half the recommended strength every 4-6 weeks.

7. Pruning: Trim away any dead or withered leaves as needed to maintain the plant's appearance and health.

8. Pests and Diseases: Keep an eye out for common succulent pests like mealybugs and spider mites. Treat any infestations promptly with suitable treatments.

9. Repotting: Haworthia Obtusa generally doesn't require frequent repotting. Repot only when the plant becomes root-bound or outgrows its container, usually every 2-3 years.
