Haworthia cooperi var. dielsiana [large]

Haworthia cooperi var. dielsiana (Bayer): A particularly round variety with lots of translucent "leaf windows". This variety tends to be a cloudy blue-green tone with green veins. Its cilia are variable, but they often line the leaf margins and a very short keel. It tolerates low indoor light well and makes an exceptional houseplant. This plant is fully rooted in a 3.5" pot.

Haworthia are able to tolerate low, indoor light, making them excellent houseplants, even for beginners. They are particularly easy to grow and rarely affected by common succulent pests and diseases. Strong, drought-tolerant roots will grow if they have great drainage and infrequent water. Pick deep containers with drainage holes and a that is 50% to 70% mineral grit (coarse sand, pumice, or perlite). Water deeply enough for water to run out the drainage hole and allow the soil to completely dry before watering again.

This genus tolerates high heat by slowing down and eventually going dormant in the peak of summer. This means that, unlike other succulents, it is important not to over-water or fertilize during summer dormancy. Haworthia are slow growers and tend to stay small in pots, but they will produce new offsets in clumps around their bases. These offsets can be left to develop into a dense clump or pulled off and transplanted.
