Haworthia Cooperi

Q: How much light does a Haworthia Cooperi need?

The Haworthia Cooperi needs medium light conditions. Provide bright indirect light; the translucent windows function best in filtered light, and harsh direct sun can burn the tips white. Plant in a very gritty, fast-draining mix -- equal parts succulent soil and pumice or perlite works well. Water sparingly, only when the soil is completely dry, roughly every 2-3 weeks. Overwatering quickly causes rot. This succulent thrives in average room humidity and temperatures above 10C. Feed once or twice during the growing season with a very dilute succulent fertilizer. Propagate by removing offsets that form around the mother rosette, or by careful leaf propagation.

About the Haworthia Cooperi

Haworthia cooperi is a fascinating succulent native to the Eastern Cape of South Africa, where it grows partially buried in sandy, gravelly soils. Its plump, rounded leaves are translucent at the tips, forming window-like panels that allow light to penetrate to the photosynthetic tissue inside -- an adaptation to growing almost submerged in substrate with only the leaf tips exposed. The crystalline, jelly-bean-like leaves form tight rosettes typically 5-8 cm across. Under bright light, the translucent windows glow with an otherworldly blue-green luminosity that makes this species a prized collector's succulent.

Origin: South Africa
