🌵 Haworthia cooperi (Fleshy Haworthia)

A small, rosette-forming succulent that is distinguished by its translucent, fleshy leaves, which are often pale green or light blue. The leaves are tightly packed in a rosette, creating a compact, eye-catching plant with a soft, almost jelly-like texture.

🔆 Light Requirements

• Ideal Light: Bright, indirect sunlight.

• Tolerates: Low to medium light, but growth may slow down and the leaves may become more stretched in dim conditions.

• Avoid: Direct, harsh sunlight, which can burn the soft leaves of the Haworthia.

💧 Watering Guidelines

• When to Water: Allow the soil to dry out completely before watering.

• Frequency: Water every 2–3 weeks in the warmer months (spring through summer) and reduce watering in winter when the plant is dormant.

• Important: Be careful not to overwater as Haworthia cooperi is prone to root rot. Water at the base of the plant, avoiding the rosette’s center.

🌾 Soil & Potting

• Soil: Use a well-draining cactus or succulent mix. You can add perlite, sand, or pumice to improve drainage.

• Pot: Ensure the pot has drainage holes to allow excess water to escape and prevent waterlogging.

🌱 Fertilization

• Feed: During the growing season (spring and summer), feed with a diluted, balanced fertilizer every 4–6 weeks.

• Avoid: Fertilizing in the winter when the plant is in its dormant phase.

✂️ Pruning & Maintenance

• Prune: Not needed for this succulent. Simply remove any damaged or dried leaves at the base of the plant.

• Cleaning: Gently wipe the leaves with a soft cloth to remove dust and maintain their translucent appearance.

🪴 Humidity & Temperature

• Humidity: Prefers dry, low-humidity environments.

• Temperature: Ideal temperature range is between 18–30°C (65–86°F). Avoid temperatures below 10°C (50°F) to prevent damage.
