Haworthia Splendens

Product Description

The foliage of Haworthia splendens consists of thick, fleshy leaves that form a tightly packed rosette. The leaves are usually dark green and may display varying patterns of raised, white tubercles (small bumps) that add texture and visual interest to the plant. A mature Haworthia splendens plant typically reaches a modest size, with the rosette growing to around 3 to 4 inches (7.5 to 10 cm) in diameter. Haworthia splendens may produce slender, tubular white or pale pink flowers on tall, wiry stalks. While the flowers are attractive, the primary appeal of this plant lies in its foliage.

Care Guide: 

1. Light: Provide bright, indirect sunlight for your Haworthia splendens. It thrives in plenty of light but should be protected from intense, direct sunlight, 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 and allow the top inch (2.5 cm) or more of the soil to dry out completely between waterings. Overwatering can lead to root rot, so it's crucial to avoid keeping the soil consistently wet.

4. Soil: Plant your Haworthia splendens in 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 for proper drainage.

6. Fertilizing: Fertilize sparingly during the growing season (spring and summer) with a balanced, diluted liquid fertilizer suitable for succulents. 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: Monitor for common succulent pests like mealybugs and spider mites. Treat any infestations promptly with suitable treatments.

9. Repotting: Haworthia splendens generally doesn't require frequent repotting. Repot when it becomes root-bound or outgrows its container, typically every 2-3 years.
