Pachira Bonsai Care

Light:

Will take various light conditions, but neither direct sunlight or deep shade.

Watering:

A surviving plant will get by with watering just once a month, however to get the plant thriving it will need to be done at least once a fortnight. Very tolerant of under watering, but will succumb quickly to rotting if overwatered.

Humidity:

Not important

Feeding:

Feed your Haworthia very occasionally and when you do, ensure it’s only a weak solution.

Temperature:

Average warmth between Spring and Autumn / Fall. Cooler in Winter although, if possible, not “cold” and absolutely no lower than 4°C / 40°F.

Repotting:

Haworthia to outgrow its pot quickly, therefore repotting is only required infrequently and usually only when offsets have filled the pot. Once the time has come, just choose a pot slightly bigger than the last and use a similar soil composition to what was being used previously.

Propagation:

When you repot your Haworthia you can separate the offsets from the parent. Use a sharp knife and cut as close to the parent plant as possible, ensure the offset has some roots. Wait a day for the offset to dry slightly (this reduces the chances of the raw “wound” from rotting), then pot up in a small container using a standard potting or cactus compost mix. Water and keep warm.
