Howard

Your haws are so nice...I wonder about how much/how often do you water them in this weather? I guess the darker-reddish color is from sun exposure?

Rina

Howard, once another stunning collection and stellar photos!

Thanks Rina. I truly hope a Haworthia person sees this and responds to your query. I have a most difficult time knowing when to water. I know with the summer heat they go somewhat dormant so I try not to water too much. But I don't want them to shrivel up, either. I've recently gone to a very gritty mix to help me not overdo the water. I don't grow my Haws hard in lots of sun. I keep them in the greenhouse with a 60% shade clothe used for my orchids.

Thanks; I keep couple I have in partial shade. They still seem to darken up and leaves are kind of hard - but I would think it varies depending on cv? I worry that I am under-watering them...Rina

In my limited experience, under watering whether from actual low volume or root problems causes the leaves to become sunken in the middle.

I agree, Howard...Nice collection you have there, with some fancy names also...Here is my solitary Haworthia...wait, I have another pot outside.Christopher

I forgot how weird and neat haworthias were! Where do you find these? That top one does its job well...I actually thought it was rocks and scrolled down because I thought it was just the top of the background lol

Hey, where did you get the Fist full of thumbs?

Hi Zixiang. Didn't know you visited this forum. I know you from the STC/Sheilam group. I don't recall where i got 'Fist Full of Thumbs'. I do have only one division of it. Because we don't get much sun and have short winter days, many of my Haworthia lose their color and become more green. This is the division I have and would sell/trade in the spring, if that's why you're asking about its origin; it's much too cold to send any plants out until late March/early April.

Hey Howard, I lurk here to appreciate all your Haworthia pics! I ask because I got mine as a gift

Sorry, not a clue, Zixiang

This one has a great name, Haworthia 'Tetra: Legend of Zelda'. Looks like it might be nice with the lines.

I am hoping this truncata develops nice window markings...
