I got this Haworthia emelyae in mid March last year, divided it and repotted, but this half has been extremely temperamental, thought I was going to lose it as it continued to dry out and lose its vigor. As the autumn weather came then our early rains in December, it started to revive and with our cool and dry winter, it is now fully recovered. Hurray! Hurray!

Looking so dismal in Oct 2014:

This January 2015 a grand recovery woohoo!

The other half of this plant, never lost a beat during repot, I guess it liked the location I have placed it better:

Oh yes, I see real hope in your plants! I notice now with my Haws, they are truly enjoying our cool dry temps. All my haws are outdoors. But it has been one extremely dry January here too..too dry..but the succulents are thriving. We did have several days of dense fog, other than that no precipitation of any sort. The succulents are happy. Smiling

Tarev that's good for the plants but sorry to hear you haven't been getting much rain Thumbs down
congrats on the haworthia "come back"!
Angela, maybe we can do a plant trade once the weather is warm enough to safely mail things (without a heat pack, I'm too lazy to buy them so only like to ship when its warm enough nodding )
Jmorth your haw looks great! I have that one, but its smaller and with many offsets!
Most of my haws are etoliating a bit, I've cut way back on their water and increased their light and that seems to help, but they are now having to recover from being slightly misshapen Sticking tongue out I'll post a photo soon~ Thumbs up

Here's an update on my plants. Hybrids to see what I can come up with.

Also my hybrid Aloes. This time of year they all turned a dark purple. Strange because they were a nice mix of green, white, yellow and red.

Here are some Haworthias I thought I had killed...so I Just plopped them in the ground and said, "Good luck guys..." and they took off! They were either rotten or shriveled up and I decided, I hate haworthias Sad But I've changed my mind! I'm impressed with these tough little beauties and have since gotten more!

Kate you showed them some tough love. I think sometime we kill our plants with kindness when all they need is to be left alone. Good job,

I have been known to threaten to let old man winter have his way with some and they perk up. If any plant is looking out my windows now they surely do not want to go out and try to survive the cold and foot of snow out there now,

Angela, exactly!!!! I agree....sometimes just leaving them alone and letting go of the worry is all they really need.

Love it! Lovey dubby What a lovely uniform chilled color! Or is that its natural color already? Will it turn back to green when it warms up?
