The care secret that transformed my Haworthia

I'd had Haworthia for about eight months with acceptable but unremarkable results. Then I started really paying attention to watering only when the soil is completely dry and the difference over the next two months was dramatic.

wide range of colours from blue-grey to red became much more pronounced. The plant in a fairy garden or miniature landscape now looks like a completely different specimen. new offsets appearing around the base in spring confirmed that I'd finally unlocked what this plant can do. etiolation from insufficient light has been less of a problem since I got the overall conditions right. If your Haworthia is underwhelming, look at watering only when the soil is completely dry first.
