Know before you buy
No, this plant is not considered pet-friendly. It is best to keep it in a location that is inaccessible to curious pets.
While it is tolerant of lower light, it performs best in bright, indirect light. Placing it near a window that receives filtered sunlight will help maintain its vibrant green color and distinct white ridges.
The most important rule is to let the soil dry out completely between waterings. Generally, a bi-weekly watering schedule works well, but always check the soil moisture first to avoid overwatering, which can lead to root rot.
Yes, it is suitable for both indoor and outdoor use. If you move it outside, ensure it is placed in a spot with bright, indirect light rather than harsh, direct sun, which can scorch the leaves.
Yes, Haworthia thrives in well-draining soil. A sandy succulent or cactus potting mix is ideal because it prevents water from pooling around the roots.
