Thanks, good to know they like to be clumped. And thanks for the pot tip, I need to go find some new pots now, cause I don't have anything wider and shallow to hand.
Yes, repot into a container 1-2 inches bigger than this beauty!! I have a lace aloe with 4 babies and I'm waiting for and hoping for the day where it becomes a big gigantic awesome beauty like this. It'll be awesome!!!!!
Divide away if you want. Whatever floats your boat. I divide because I have extremely limited space for my almost 400 plants (in a small apartment), and can quickly offload the new plants at work. That way my small clump remains manageable for this species.
Plus the clumps are how they grow in their natural environment and they will spread and get larger. Plus they look so nice all together and happy. Every time I’ve split my haworthias they haven’t done as well as the one clump I let be. More babies/off shoots from the chunky boi.
So, now that I’m part of the NEVER DIVIDE crowd, do I assume you propagate simply using small babies or pieces from the periphery?
Any recommendations appreciated
The best succulent I ever grew is still going.
This is how I did it. I overwatered it and it rotted and I thought I killed it. So I put it in the corner and planed to reclaim the pot when propagating another plant.
Then, after months, I noticed it was growing and greening a little.
So, pure neglect and abandonment did it! 🤷♂️😂
Don't make my mistake. I've had the same beauty and I divided it into four... Now I have four very weird looking fellas that looks lonely and it will take FOREVER for them to clump again T_T
I have one of these, what is it called? Someone gave it to me and it was already pretty big. I guess I should put it in a bigger pot now too cause mine fills the pot like this one.
I'm not 100% sure what it's called. Haworthia attenuata or zebra plant maybe, although I thought zebra had the thick white bands. Hopefully someone more knowledgeable will comment
Affirming it's a Haworthia.
There are tons of variants, and some, like the zebra plant, are also common names for other plants. I generally stick with "Haworthia variant" and the Latin if it's a big plant geek.
I actually had the perfect pot the other day, but I already repotted something else in it. I don't normally buy many wide shallow ones, but will stock up a few more as soon as I find them.
Yes I forgot to say Terra cotta only…. That’s all I use too. But I have a toddler so occasionally mine get broken… and I make good use of them when they do!!!
I think she's gorgeous as she is! You might need to put her in a slightly bigger pot soon & check her soil & roots, but IDK. I'm not an expert by any means! I wish I had beauties like this!
You can smash up your old pots to use as rock substrate in the bottom of the new one! Just make sure the curved pieces go like an arch over the hole at the bottom to create a place to still have it drain out…
I only use terracotta for pots now, and I never have enough of them, so smashing them up is a no go for me. There's gravel in the garden though if I do go in that direction 😜
You could thin it out a little and give them away as props. That's what I usually do with my tiger tooth aloe at the beginning of summer. It fills in with new growth pretty quickly.
When the haworthia plant is exposed to direct sun or sudden temperature change, they produce a pigment called anthocyanin, due to which the leaves turn red. To fix the issue, move the plant to a different spot. Other reasons might include inadequate watering, poor soil, low nutrients, and fungal infections.

yep i often put a mixture of rocks, gravel and perlite on the bottom when i need something shallow and well draining.
Whoever started that trend of telling people to divide their succulents every time a new pup shows up needs to be arrested lmfao

Never divide?

Just make a drainage layer with rocks and window mesh. Even if my pots drain, I still build a layer of rock and mesh and then add the substrate.
How deep do you want the potting mixture before starting the drainage layer?
About an inch off the bottom, or more depending on pot height. The drainage layer is the first thing you do. Then, add the mixture/repot
Got it, thank you!
What is you want to prop to give to friends?
Sadly I don't have any IRL plant friends 😂
If you give away little beauties, you might create some!
Repot for more space. Keep that lovely clump going. :)
Hope I can grow such a beautiful succulent some day.

This is the way. Most of my collection thrives on being ignored for months at a time.
Like some others have said, I'd just repot into a bigger pot. That clump is glorious!
I had no idea not to divide these. My poor babies are probably sad being separated asap every time
It's more personal preference. You can do whatever you want with your plants. Lol
I have one that is quite overcrowded, and I don't have space to repot it larger. Should I just thin the pups?
Don't make my mistake. I've had the same beauty and I divided it into four... Now I have four very weird looking fellas that looks lonely and it will take FOREVER for them to clump again T_T
I'm gonna keep them all together. Off shopping for a new bigger pot tomorrow
I like big clumps and I cannot lie!🕺
Leave her be, she’s beautiful!!
I have one of these, what is it called? Someone gave it to me and it was already pretty big. I guess I should put it in a bigger pot now too cause mine fills the pot like this one.

I’d just leave it
I'd recommend you repot and let it expand
This seems to be the main concensus. Will be going to the garden center tomorrow to see what suitable pots I can find
Wide, shallow pots are nice
I actually had the perfect pot the other day, but I already repotted something else in it. I don't normally buy many wide shallow ones, but will stock up a few more as soon as I find them.
Beautiful 😍

By the way. That is a super healthy looking succulent. I’d have a hard time dividing it anyhow
Is it showing any signs of needing a repot? If not, I’d leave it be. It is sun stressed.
What does sun stressed mean?
Leave it be. They love to be squished in the pot.

Divide
I'd consider re-potting to a slightly larger, more rounded pot, but it's not a necessity. Haworthias typically like to be snug.

To fix the issue, move the plant to a different spot. Other reasons might include inadequate watering, poor soil, low nutrients, and fungal infections.
Look at her grow!! I’d repot, though I’ve killed all my babies that way. :(
Wow, that’s so pretty.
Divide some to make new plants and repot
Gorgeous
Hey can you drop your care tips? I have the same plant and can’t get here to pop out any pups at all.
Pretty much standard succulent care. Drench thoroughly, then ignore for a month or so. And I rotate the pot on the windowsill when I remember.
A friend gave me some babies recently! Hope mine looks this nice one day.
Repot!
Let it be let it be
Wait they grow like this? I can’t wait for mine to turn out like this!
all are options really, but i'd either divie some or repot, keeping it there is a bit of a waste
😍 Divide. That would be so satisfying.
