Succulent Haworthia Miami
About This Botanical
Botanical name: Haworthia 'Miami' (succulent)
A compact, slow-growing succulent with firm, patterned leaves. It is tough, adapts to indoor light and tolerates occasional missed watering.
How to care for haworthia
- Light: an east or west window, or bright indirect light. A few hours of direct morning or evening sun is fine. Full midday summer sun can scorch the leaves.
- Water: water only when the soil is dry. Check a couple of inches down with a finger. Root rot from wet roots is the most common cause of death.
- Soil: a commercial potting mix with an equal part of perlite or coarse sand for drainage.
- Temperature: ideally 75 to 90°F. Keep above the low 40s°F.
