How to care for Haworthia fasciata:
To ensure optimal growth, place the plant in a well-lit area, ensuring it receives bright light while being shielded from intense sunlight. It is important to maintain low humidity levels and promote adequate air circulation. During active growth, water the plant moderately and apply a diluted, low-nitrogen fertiliser monthly throughout the season. In winter, it is advisable to keep the plant relatively dry with a minimum temperature of 10°C. Repot in spring every few years into a slightly larger pot using a specialist cacti/succulent, free-draining compost.
If growing as a houseplant, to ensure optimal growth, place the plant in a well-lit area, ensuring it receives bright light while being shielded from intense sunlight. It is important to maintain low humidity levels and promote adequate air circulation.
