Special Features:
- Attractive Rosette: Haworthia Pumila forms a rosette of thick, fleshy, pointed leaves that are adorned with small white bumps or speckles, creating an attractive and distinctive pattern. This succulent is slow-growing and maintains a compact size, making it perfect for display in small pots or as part of a succulent collection.
- Easy to Grow: Haworthia Pumila is very hardy and requires minimal care, making it ideal for gardeners of all skill levels. This plant is particularly tolerant of a lack of direct light, making it suitable for growing indoors with indirect light.
- Flowering: Although its main attraction is its leaves, Haworthia Pumila also produces small, tubular flowers on slender stems, usually white or pink in color, which add an additional touch of visual interest.
Watering: Haworthia Pumila requires moderate watering. It is crucial to allow the substrate to dry out completely between waterings to prevent root rot. During winter, reduce watering to a minimum as the plant enters a dormant period.
Lighting: Prefers bright but indirect light. Although it can tolerate some direct sun, it is best to avoid prolonged exposure to strong sun, which can cause leaf burn.
Pests: Haworthia Pumila is generally resistant to pests, although it can occasionally be affected by mealybugs or spider mites. It is recommended to regularly inspect the plants and use environmentally friendly products to control any infestation.
Cold hardiness: Haworthia Pumila is relatively cold hardy and can tolerate temperatures close to 5°C if kept dry. However, in regions with cold winters, it is best grown indoors or in a greenhouse.
Substrate: A well-drained substrate is recommended, ideally a succulent mix containing coarse sand or gravel. Good drainage is essential to prevent waterlogging and root rot.
Harvest: Haworthia Pumila is grown primarily for its ornamental value. Enjoy its compact form, easy care, and distinctive mottled pattern in succulent collections, miniature gardens, or as a houseplant.
