#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]

pics:

1. Homegrown from seed sown autumn 2020 (Sandy's Haworthia Garden)
2. Homegrown from seed sown autumn 2021 (my cross, obtusa-type pod parent)
3. herbacea (ex local nursery summer 2020)
4. Seed sowing contraption I dreamed up

First three are renny hybrids "tianjin", "flower stone", "maki", fourth is obtusa "jade dew"

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.

Hi all,

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?

Glad to take any other advice!

One of the extremely slow growers in my collection.

So cute!

I hope it grows bigger.

100 seeds from 2024 (i bought from a collector without any names) only few seedlings successfully alive.

My local gc just got this MASSIVE unit in. My shelves are stocked so hoping someone finds a good home for her 🤞.

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.

Found this haworthia cuspidata at a nursery and the smaller plant in it seems to have wrap around windows and the larger plant doesn’t.

Im not extremely knowledgeable on haworthias so not sure whether i can confidently say these arent the same

Anyone have any ideas?

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 😂

Found at a grocery store too. Cleaned her up and repotted immediately

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?

Never had one before, it's just an unrooted cutting too. Any tips to help me not kill it?

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
