Nowadays, haworthia is popular and is especially appreciated for the fact that it does not require special care.
2. Pay attention to the air temperature in the room where the flower is located. Differences between daily and night indicators can adversely affect growth.

   Important! In the spring, maintain a temperature of twenty to thirty degrees. In the cold period, the temperature should be around eighteen degrees. Moisture should be at an average level.

3. As for fertilizers, there is nothing to worry about, since the plant does not need them. Only in the case of wilting havortia, it is necessary to stimulate the root system of the flower. You can fertilize once a year using fertilizers for succulents. Do not use too concentrated solution - it will harm the plant. Top dressing in small quantities will positively affect the growth and flowering of haworthia.
4. Soil and foliage should be part of the soil. Proper soil selection will have a good effect on flower development. You can buy ready-made soil for succulents or make it yourself.
