Haworthia retusa f. variegata quick care tips

Watering

Haworthia retusa f. variegata is a drought-tolerant succulent variety, so watering around once per week in the peak growing season is advised. Ensure the soil dries between waterings following the 3 Ds: drench, drain and dry. It is also advised to completely stop watering when conditions are frosty, keeping the plant dry for several months at a time over winter.

Feeding

Haworthia retusa f. variegata likes to be fed to bring out its best forms and colours. We recommend feeding with a liquid seaweed feed every 2 weeks in the main growing season from April to September. A feed we recommend is the one from our friends at LittleGreenSeaweed.

Ideal soil

Haworthia retusa f. variegata needs free draining soil to thrive. We recommend a mixture of 1/3 John Innes no.2, 1/3 perlite and 1/3 coconut coir. The soil mix we offer here is similar in composition to this.

The rare and fascinating multicoloured Haworthia retusa f. variegata is a very beautiful and easy succulent to grow, it produces one central dominant rosette with smaller rosettes growing from the side of the plant.

The offsets can be removed with a sharp sterile knife and potted up as new plants, try to take off some of the offsets with the root system still attached.
