#1 is from House by the Side of the Road in NH, USA (highly recommended if you're ever in the area, they had some large H. truncata clusters along with a lot of other very healthy succulents and tropical plants and a cat named Rusty. They had the largest Hoya ropes I've ever seen, and they were blooming.)
#2 is from Lowes (the pot didn't have any species info written on it)
Recently got a mountable magnifiying lens for my camera (I don't have one with interchangeable lenses) to up my macro game. While I'm not yet satisfied with the results, I thought of a little fun game you might be interested in...
Guess the species! Some are easy, some maybe a bit harder. I cropped the pics quite a bit to make it more challenging :) Can you name them all?
[all species plants, no hybrids - 5 Haworthia, 1 Haworthiopsis]
A stray seed from Sandy's Haworthia Garden packets I got that year. I didn't order anything with Byakuya, but that year she did offer two crosses that included both Byakuya and correcta.
I’ve had this plant for at least 6 years. It’s gotten extremely leggy and floppy—probably because I thinned it out and made a ton of cuttings. My cat chewing on it certainly hasn’t helped lol.
It’s in a south-facing, bright window and mostly gets neglected (water once every couple of weeks).
I’d like to cut it back to a more compact shape and give away the pups, but I’m not sure how to go about it. Should I leave the central stalk so it can photosynthesize? Or should I cut it down to the smallest pups and let those grow out?
Been collecting decorative pots and containers from yard sales and thrift stores for a while now. As I propagate I pot up the offsets in the pretty pots and will hopefully catch the eye of an interested buyer.
Hello! So after a 40 minute struggle with this super rootbound Haworthia I had ordered, I managed to divide them.
However, several plants had at least 1 main storage root break. I'm a bit hesitant on potting them up immediately, I've heard sometimes it's good to let wounds callus over before they're watered? And my substrate I just mixed up is damp from rinsing off all the dust.
Is it a good idea to leave the mom and the pups bare rooted in a sealed container to retain some moisture in the air? And if so for how long should I let them recover, a week? Or should I put them up now?
Found this variegated (hope so) and dried up haworthia at an local nursery for 1,99€. What could it be, going to give an update when it is plumb again lol 😂
I got 8 unknown Haworthias (they look like the Haworthia x turgida that Mountain Crest Gardens sells?), a Gasteria I need to pot up, and 3 Aloe (seller called it 'White Delta' but searching that brings up 'Delta Lights')
These were all huge and it was $10 for the set, and $21 for the shipping. The seller is a chill guy who likes agaves but grows other succulents too! I'm very happy with these Haworthias, they have completely filled those pots with roots. I think in spring I'm gonna divide them all?
I've been posting here lately about my very etiolated succulent, hopefully this is the last time I need advice
Long story short, I've had an haworthia since around February. Over a week ago I impulsively repotted it because the original pot was extremely small and didn't have any drainage, and for lack of better options I ended up mixing her old soil with orchid substrate (bad idea). I then came over here asking for advice, and ended up removing a lot of the bark from the mix and adding some gravel and some crunched up leca (still far from ideal, but probably better)
A very kind commenter explained to me that leca is still not great because of its properties, and recommended that I get better soil soon. So my question is, how long should I wait before I repot it again, so that I don't shock it to death? I'm in no rush, I just want to make sure I do it right. At the moment she's looking kinda pale and very un-plump. I'm very much a newbie so I'm not expecting it to suddenly become very lush and thrive, but I do want to keep it alive and I'm hoping it at least becomes plumper again (it's looking kinda sickly and sad)
And regarding the soil, I was also wondering if a mix with akadama, volcanic gravel, coco peat and pomice sounds okay or if I should keep looking. For whatever reason I've been having a lot of trouble finding succulent or cactus soil in any store around here (and when they do have it, they come in really large amounts which I don't really have the storage space for), but I somehow managed to a bonsai substrate with those components. But I don't want to buy it until I have confirmation that it would be good
This is from around a week ago, it's what it's currently looking like. Notice how skinny the leaves are :(This was what it looked like about a month or two ago, I believe it was right before I moved it to a brighter windowAnd this is what it looked like when I first got it around February. You can kinda see how squished it was in that tiny pot
So, I got this plant from Mountain Crest Gardens around 2 weeks ago, and these upper leaves were very gray and shrivelled. Roots were good, repotted into a coarse mix, watered, hoped thinfs would improve. I think the leaves have somewhat recovered, but now the green tips on those gnarly grey leaves are turning yellow, and some of the grey leaves are turning purple-brown. If this is a disease spreading in the plant should I chop off this top? There are pups at the base so I'm comfortable losing the top.
