Caring for the Haworthia retusa is relatively simple. A mixture of cactus and succulent soil is suitable as a substrate. The Haworthia retusa does not tolerate waterlogging, so good drainage should be ensured and the substrate should be allowed to dry out before watering again. Generally, this succulent tolerates too little water rather than too much. Fertilizing can be done once a month, or every four weeks.
This succulent needs a sunny, bright, semi-shaded to shaded location. The optimal temperature is between 20°C and 30°C. Haworthia retusa can spend the summer outdoors after being gradually acclimated to direct sunlight. In winter, the temperature should be around 10°C. Furthermore, fertilizing is stopped and watering is reduced. However, this succulent is not suitable for the garden. This succulent can be propagated by seeds, but also by leaf and stem cuttings. Haworthia retusa is generally non-toxic, but we cannot guarantee its compatibility with animals.

Please note: Sizes, shapes and ages may vary for plants, as each one is unique. This is especially true in winter or when availability is low. The color also varies depending on the season.
