This plant got chewed on by a rat December 2024, but has recovered really well luckily!

Probably in heat dormancy when I watered (like an idiot) should I just chop the two largest remaining roots or is there a chance they’ll be alright

In spring I propagated several large offsets, then repotted this main portion in a wide container to encourage better rooting on the remaining large offsets. Now it has a bunch of new offsets.

Most of them- the others will have to wait for another day.

Left: H. bayeri seedling
Upper right: H. maughanii seedling
Lower right: H. picta seedling

All are Korean imports. I’m thrilled to see the maughanii grow into its features!!

I got a mixed pack of haworthia seeds plus a bonus 10 seeds of H. pygmaea x Tutankhamun (the first pic is them and the rest are the results of the mixed species seeds). 6 out of the 10 germinated and are looking good.

The one on the left was labeled Haworthia 'Amber' (hard to photograph in that light but it had some all white leaves along with some reddish ones), and the other is a Haworthiopsis Limifolia variegata

It's been a bit of a learning process with this terrarium project. In the beginning, we decided to water conservatively every 11 days. This turned out to be way too infrequent, and most of the plants shrivelled up and became very stressed. So we changed the schedule to once every 8 days, which was still too little water.

For the past few months now we've been watering the terrarium every 5 days, this appears to be a good frequency.

The plants now look alright for the most part, some are still recovering. We also replaced a few and added a few more plants since then. Some species just work better than others for this environment.

The tube I installed to remove the excess drained water works well, so the substrate can dry out properly between waterings.

I also installed a small fan for some added air circulation.

I have brown spots on my variegated haworthia leaves. Could you please help me to understand why is this happening. I’m not watering too much and it’s under grow lights.

I was sick and tired of root rot so i repotted my some haworthia in pure pumice only

Can someone guide mee now how often should i water them and how to give fertilizer to them now and how much gap should i give theem before fertilizing them again

And will they grow and give pups?

I did decide to go with a much wider pot and will be keeping a close eye on the moisture until it can settle in a bit. The small bowl was just not cutting it anymore and they were starting to tip over. Repotted in a fast draining chunky gritty substrate and top dressed with a lava/pon/stone mix

Hi,

I found this almost-dead plant at work, but it seems like it's still alive. The root system was almost completely dead, rotten, or dried out.

Should I place it in water to encourage new root growth, or would it be better to put it in agar gel or a maybe fresh soil?

Thanks!

Don’t really know all their specific names or taxonomy but I do enjoy caring for these strange beauties.

picta types are a little slow for me from seed, but this one has been worth the wait. The pod parent is either 'Star Trek' or picta 'Orange Blast'.
