Haworthiopsis venosa

Breede Haworthia comes from habitats with dappled light, such as forest understories or rocky areas that provide natural shade. It prefers partial sun but can also tolerate full sun.

Although Breede Haworthia can tolerate some heat, it mainly does best and grows during cooler periods and becomes dormant in summer. In hot summer weather, provide shade to avoid scorching from strong sunlight. Watering should be reduced or stopped during the hottest season to prevent root rot. Winter and spring are the times when Breede Haworthia grows vigorously. If temperatures do not fall too low, it will continue to grow steadily.

For Breede Haworthia, light applications of fertilizer once or twice a year during the growing season are sufficient. Do not fertilize in winter or summer when the plant is dormant. Reduce the amount of fertilizer for repotted plants and wait a couple of months after repotting before applying fertilizer. Fertilizing helps maintain healthy growth and promotes flowering.

When repotting Breede Haworthia, choose a pot that is slightly bigger than the current one and has good drainage. Fill it with a gritty, well-draining succulent or cactus soil mix. Gently lift the plant from its old pot, brush away excess soil, and set it in the new pot at the same depth. Wait several days before watering so any damaged roots can heal. Repot during spring or fall and keep the plant in a brightly lit spot.
