A little bit of sunburn from this summer. Thankfully this one grows fast. (well, faster than my variegated haworthias)

Evan, if yours is sunburn, then this one is roasted then...

@Kaktus
It looked nearly that bad during the summer. It somehow got into full sun. It wasn't acclimatized.

My Haworthia in the last photo stay in the coolest spot at home, no direct sunlight at all, just bright area, at noon time, it can enjoy 5 degree cooler than other cactus , still get roasted

Yum yum , rotisserie haworthia

This H. retusa clump (6" pot) lost its roots a couple months ago, and has been in a state of gradual decay. I was sort of hoping they would grow back.

But today I decided with all the rain we've had recently, there's an increased probability of rot, so I separated the clump.

The mother rosette is at the left (with the fat stem cut all the way back with a paring knife), the rest are various offsets that I snapped off. They will sit in a dry place for a week or so and then get potted up in dry soil (not to be watered or rained on for a week or two, longer for the parent). I would guess the probability is that I have half a dozen of these rooted by spring.

My haworthias go through a cycle of growing well, then losing their roots, to re-rooting, and finally back to growing well... rinse repeat.

Also been having some rot problems. Mainly with the echeveria elegant that seems to be rot prone. Last summer, it's roots were eaten up by a root eating beetle. It was then attacked by a fungal problem. Kind of sad, as it was my largest echeveia. It's few surviving pups are still alive...

I think I can declare victory with this cutting that I rooted in October, now flowering inside.

This plant (cooperi) has a pretty wide stem, so there was a lot of cut surface area and I waited extra long to water.

My variegated Turgida is also flowering. It's just slow growing. Flowers grow EVEN slower. I'm going to try fertilizing it...

This is a hybrid of variegated Retusa. Good news for me that now there are some local farmers started to breed all sort of haworthias, a lot of beautiful coperii, original truncatta etc. almost in par with those posted by Steve's, the prices are still very high, hopefully in 2 years time the price will be affordable.

Hi tjoe
That's a nice little plant , it would find its way into my basket (moonlight or not
Still chuckling about you buying plants in the dark
Steve

I want that!

So pretty.
Though I'm not too interested in haworthias right now. Sigh.
Out of space.

I want.
Grow Light.
But.
Hmmm...
I would start spending so much on plants...
But then this would help my winter gloomies..
Hmmmm....
Let's go shopping for a grow light to attach to a shelf

Hahaha... I think I'll stop buying now, as I am more or less have all the plants that I want ( the cheaper ones). The ones in my top 10 wish list, I have to bring in from other country. From time to time I buy one or two weird ones like the double heads euphorbia that I posted in Euphorbia thread.
But that live auction is really fun, and very cheap, 2 to 3 times cheaper than market place price I still bit for fun on the plant that I like. eg. The market price is 100, I know normally people will bet and deal at 60-70, I bit at 40, sometimes I won.
When you buy from some lousy seller at night, it is really like hunting treasure at night in the wild. This is to share the excitement of treasure hunting.. Look at the time stamp at top left


Btw, I just bought a suppose to be Queen Victoria agave... Trust me this will be my last purchase for this week

Couldn't resist this tiny spiny Haworthia herbacea at the garden center a couple weeks ago. The flower stalk appeared after I purchased it. I think it will get more plump and open with time and regular watering, but I'm not sure.

@Rose, it is so beautiful, I'd love to have one of those..
I think I have made a mistake last week, a seller show me something similar, saying that this is an uncommon hairy haworthia, the first time she had it, and I said "it's aloe pepe, next"

That is a lovely, delicate Haworthia.

My H. retusa rescue operation came out like this. The mother rosette and the only offset with any roots each got their own 4" pot, the rest will cohabitate in an underfilled 6" pot where they can contemplate the future together.




Only the one rooted offset will get water in the near future.

Some super cool plants on show on this thread . This one will need a repot after winter.
Steve

Looking very succulent!

This one looks like H. pygmaea acuminata but it came to me under a different name. Some nice orange highlights at the moment.
