I bought a new Haworthia!



Just kidding. It's the same one

(This is what it looked like before, like 3 weeks ago, I know I showed you already, but here's for reference

Hopefully it's supposed to look like that. I have only watered it once (bottom up), so hopefully she's okay. I think there's still a lot of organic material around the roots that I didn't really get rid of, so that's why I was asking. I'll just be sure to go easy on the watering until I know she's ready for it (leaves were getting squishy before I did water the first time.)

Thanks for the tips! That is a big help on what to look for! I think your experience and intuition may not be replicable here, but I will sure try to channel some of yours! Hopefully no one gets too attached to any of my plants, haha. They shall remain unnamed for now...

I like Jaws for yours. Jawsaphina for any female pups there, lol.

Hmm, jaws, not a bad name at all! Would be the first of the succulents to get named, I think. Jaws it is!

I think I like the deep green colour, but I wouldn’t complain about anything. I just want it to grow big and produce a bunch of pups so I can get it into a terracotta pot like yours !

Speaking of, more and more of the collection is now living in terracotta, and my first impressions are really positive!

It won't take long, before you know it, in a few years your Haworthia will be monster like mine!

Thanks, TwoCrows! Yeah, I didn't know they could grow so fast! That's already in a 6" pot. I love yours, so that's fine.

Oh my goodness, gorgeous plant Jen! I think it's more open because it's looking for more light? @fluffycrow probably knows more than I do on this however. But I do know from keeping plants under lights, when they open up, they are trying to get as much surface open to gather light. When they are tighly closed, they have enough.

My Snake plant has a baby.

I was thinking it was looking a little stretched out. That's good because I do have more space for it on the window sill (it is on the table next to the window because I am ignorant and still not speaking Haworthia yet.) Thanks so much!

That little snake plant baby is so cute! I have a snake plant, too, but no cute babies like that! (Just clumps directly to the side.) Mine's not variegated, though and needs a sunnier spot. I think yours has just the perfect amount of variegation! Very nice!

You obviously have done a lot more research into this than I have, but have you considered having the assistance of mycelium to improve soil quality and break down the fallen litter, twigs, cardboard and branches?

Yes! I think that will be part of the lasagna layers. Definitely an important component!

I see so much growth already, happy plant!

I do agree with TwoCrows, she seems like she’d enjoy a higher light environment. As your Haworthia make the transition for juvenile/recent pups to mother plants, you can expect them to lose their shape a bit. Especially mother plants that have had pups for years on end. But yes, a little more light and a little more water, and she should be good to go!

She seems to be loving your environment to be producing so many pups!

Just catching up on the thread, awesome succulents!!
Me and the Missus are currently growing some pretty boring cati, just trying to see what SE Texas climate and soil will handle.

Hey, I said they were boring!
