Hydroponic method of Haworthia fringeii

Ecological habits

Haworthia likes warmth, tolerates partial shade and is drought-resistant. It can grow in direct sunlight, but if there is insufficient sunlight in the winter, its growth will be weaker and its leaves will shrink. The suitable temperature for the growth of Haworthia is 20-22℃, and the temperature cannot be lower than 10℃ in winter. Although Haworthia is a xerophyte, it can be grown hydroponically, and it will have a better ornamental effect if grown with colored crystal mud.

Hydroponics Method

1. Remove from the pot, wash the roots and grow in water, or peel off the young plants around the mother plant and grow them directly in water.

2. Cut off the semi-lignified part at the base and insert it into the sand bed. After it takes root for 20-25 days, grow it in water.

3. When new roots grow out, cut off the withered old roots while changing the water. Since the amount of fertilizer required is not large, it is best to use a clear water solution to cultivate it.

4. Using crystal mud water will achieve better results.

5. The plant has no obvious stem and is not moisture-resistant. When grown in water, it is best to leave its head exposed and only have its roots in the water.

Precautions for hydroponic Haworthia fasciata

1. Haworthia striata does not have obvious above-ground stems and is not moisture-resistant. When cultured in water, the head of the plant needs to be exposed, with only the roots in the water.

2. Haworthia is a light-loving plant that requires plenty of sunlight. After it grows water roots, it should be placed in a sunny place. When growing Haworthia fasciata hydroponically, you need to change the water regularly, clean the container, and trim rotten and diseased roots.

3. Haworthia striata does not like fertilizer very much, so it can be grown with clean water. Let the tap water stand for 1 or 2 days before use.
