Haworthia cooperi is a small, charming succulent known for its rosette of fleshy, translucent, green leaves. The leaves often appear bulbous and are sometimes described as "windowed" because of their see-through tips, which allow sunlight to penetrate deeper into the plant. This succulent is prized for its unique appearance and compact growth, making it an excellent choice for windowsills and small indoor gardens.
Haworthia cooperi is a low-maintenance plant that can thrive with minimal care. Its distinctive, translucent leaves and compact size make it a delightful addition to any succulent collection.
Light
Prefers bright, indirect light.
Can tolerate some direct sunlight, particularly in the morning or late afternoon, but too much intense sunlight can cause the leaves to scorch.
Watering
Water thoroughly when the soil is dry to the touch.
Reduce watering in the winter when the plant is dormant.
Avoid overwatering to prevent root rot; it's better to underwater than overwater.
Soil
Use a well-draining succulent or cactus mix.
Adding perlite or coarse sand to the potting mix can help improve drainage.
Temperature
Thrives in temperatures between 18-27°C.
Can tolerate lower temperatures down to about 10°C but should be protected from frost.
Humidity
Prefers low to moderate humidity.
Ensure good air circulation to prevent fungal issues.
Fertilising
Feed with a diluted, balanced succulent fertiliser during the growing season (spring and summer) every 4-6 weeks.
Do not fertilise in the winter.
Repotting
Repot every 2-3 years in the spring to refresh the soil and provide room for growth.
Use a shallow pot with drainage holes.
Pests
Watch out for common pests such as mealybugs and spider mites.
Treat infestations with insecticidal soap or neem oil promptly.
Propagation
Can be easily propagated from offsets (pups) that grow around the base of the plant.
Allow offsets to dry for a day or two after removal before planting in their own pots.
