How to care for Haworthia Rubrobrunnea

Water

Haworthia Rubrobrunnea does best in dry soil and should only be watered sparingly.

Soil

To ensure the health of your Haworthia Rubrobrunnea, it's crucial to use a potting soil that won't hold too much moisture. A soil that drains well and contains perlite or vermiculite for drainage and organic matter for nutrition is ideal. Adding a few handfuls of perlite to store-bought cactus soil is an easy way to create this type of soil mix.

Lighting

To ensure optimal growth, the Haworthia Rubrobrunnea prefers bright diffused light for 6-8 hours each day. Insufficient light can result in slow growth and leaf drop, so it's important to find a well-lit location for this plant. Place it near a window, within a distance of 1 meter (3 feet), to enhance its potential for thriving.
