Haworthia

Haworthia
Light

Bright indirect light, with a few hours of direct sun at an east or west window. Too much sun turns the leaves red or white and dry; in shade they stretch and fade.

Watering

Water sparingly, only when the soil is almost dry; in winter, rarely and a little. Rain or filtered water is better: fluoride damages the leaves.

Air

Warm, not below 10 °C.
