Haworthia 80mm Pot One only

Haworthia truncata

Truncata is the ultimate Haworthia prized by collectors around the world. There are many amazing cultivars being produced, some worth the price of a small car. Truncata is very slow growing and will take many years to fill a small pot. Single offsets may appear after plant matures at 4 to 10 years of age.

Position - partial shade. Indoors only in well-lit positions.

Truncata must be kept under cover if outdoors to control watering. Prefers deep pots as roots are very thick and prefer to go deep.

Watering - can be watered over the warmer months. Plants will survive without water for many months but will lose condition and take time to recover. If mix appears to be moist near the surface they should not be watered. Over winter very little water is needed.

Feeding - 25% of recommended dosage monthly in growing period. The less fertiliser, the better the shape of the plant!

Fertilisers high in nitrogen can produce larger but softer plants.

Repotting - can be left to overgrow their pots or repotted in the warmer months in almost any well drained potting mix.
