Care Instructions
Haworthia mirabilis thrives in bright, indirect light and prefers moderate temperatures. It should be watered sparingly, allowing the soil to dry out almost completely between waterings. This plant does well in low humidity environments and can tolerate a range of indoor conditions.Soil
Haworthia mirabilis prefers well-draining, sandy soil. A cactus or succulent mix is ideal, as it provides the necessary drainage to prevent root rot. Ensure the pot has drainage holes to allow excess water to escape.Fertilizer
Fertilize Haworthia mirabilis with a balanced succulent fertilizer, such as a 2-7-7 N-P-K formula, during the growing season. Apply the fertilizer sparingly, about once a month, to avoid over-fertilization.Repotting
Repot Haworthia mirabilis every 2-3 years or when it outgrows its current pot. Choose a slightly larger pot with good drainage. Gently remove the plant from its old pot, shake off excess soil, and place it in the new pot with fresh succulent mix.Propagation
Haworthia mirabilis can be propagated through offsets or leaf cuttings. The best time to propagate is during the growing season. Gently remove offsets from the base of the plant or take a healthy leaf cutting, allow it to callous over, and then plant it in well-draining soil.Pruning
Pruning is generally not required for Haworthia mirabilis. However, you can remove any dead or damaged leaves to maintain the plant's appearance and health.Toxicity
Haworthia mirabilis is non-toxic to pets and humans, making it a safe choice for households with animals and children.Additional
Haworthia mirabilis enters a dormancy period during the winter months, during which it requires less water. Reduce watering frequency during this time to prevent root rot. This plant is relatively low-maintenance and can thrive with minimal care, making it an excellent choice for beginners.REVOLUTIONIZE YOUR PLANT CARE
