Growth Rate
Haworthia planifolia has a slow growth rate and requires little attention. The succulent grows in the same pot for years but needs repotting every second or third year for healthy growth.
Flowering
The blooming season is June when the plant blooms bright white star flowers with a yellow spot. The flowers are small and bloom in slender, unbranched inflorescences.
Watering and Feeding
Watering needs to be balanced. Overwatering can lead to root rots. Underwatering is not an issue as the succulent would survive. Watering should be done earnestly from spring to fall, after which only when the topsoil dries.
Soil
Haworthia planifolia will grow cheerfully in well-drained soil. These plants grow well even in rocky and sandy areas. For sustained growth, it is good to go with commercial succulent soil.
Hardiness
This variety has a hardiness range of 9 to 11 and a frost tolerance of -1.1° C (30.02° F).
Light
Haworthia planifolia grows well in sheltered spots or partial shade. In their natural habitat, the succulent has healthy growth under rocky overhangs and bushes. Prevent keeping the plant in deep shade.
Propagation
These plants can be propagated through offsets or seeds.
This cute succulent can be a showstopper of your home or office if well cared for. The solitary columnar structure makes it a worthwhile showpiece.
