Haworthia retusa is relatively easy to care for. It prefers bright, indirect light and moderate temperatures. Water the plant sparingly, allowing the soil to dry out almost completely between waterings. It thrives in low to moderate humidity and does not require frequent watering. Ensure the plant is kept in a well-ventilated area to prevent rot.Suelo
Haworthia retusa prefers well-draining soil, such as a sandy or cactus mix. Good drainage is essential to prevent root rot. A mix of sand, perlite, and a small amount of organic matter works well. Avoid heavy, clay-based soils that retain moisture.Fertilizante
Fertilize Haworthia retusa sparingly, using a balanced fertilizer with a nutrient composition of 2-7-7. Apply the fertilizer during the growing season, typically in spring and summer, at half the recommended strength. Avoid fertilizing during the plant's dormancy period.Trasplante
Repot Haworthia retusa every 2-3 years or when it outgrows its current pot. Choose a pot that is slightly larger than the current one and has good drainage. Gently remove the plant from its old pot, shake off excess soil, and place it in the new pot with fresh, well-draining soil.Propagación
Haworthia retusa can be propagated through offsets or leaf cuttings. The best time to propagate is during the growing season. For offsets, gently separate them from the mother plant and plant them in their own pots. For leaf cuttings, allow the cut end to callous over for a few days before planting in well-draining soil.Poda
