Haworthia alba

Plant Care:

Light:

• Bright Indirect Light: Haworthia alba prefers bright, indirect light. Place it in a location with filtered sunlight or in a bright window with sheer curtains. It can tolerate some direct sunlight, especially in the morning or late afternoon.

• Partial Shade: While it can adapt to lower light conditions, avoid deep shade, as it may lead to leggy growth and reduced vibrancy.

Watering:

• Infrequent Watering: Haworthia alba is a succulent and requires infrequent but deep watering. Allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings.

• Watering Frequency: Water the plant when the top inch of the soil feels dry. During the growing season (spring and summer), water more frequently, but in the dormant period (fall and winter), reduce watering.

• Avoid overwatering: Succulents, including Haworthias, are susceptible to root rot. Ensure that the pot has proper drainage, and remove excess water from the saucer.

Fertilization:

• Sparse Fertilization: Haworthia alba generally has low fertilizer requirements. Feed sparingly with a diluted, balanced liquid fertilizer during the growing season (spring and summer).

• Frequency of Fertilization: Fertilize every 4-6 weeks during the active growing period. Avoid fertilizing in fall and winter when the plant is less active.

• Use a Cactus or Succulent Fertilizer: Consider using a fertilizer specifically formulated for cacti or succulents. Follow the product's instructions for application rates.
