Hi, i got my haworthia fasciata little over a year ago and i haven't had any problems with it. About a month ago i moved it to a bigger pot since the one it had previously been in had grown too small, but now I've noticed that the tips of the leaves are starting to turn brown and crispy. What should i do? How do i fix my plant?

what mix did you repot into & did u water it straight afterwards?

those striped things rot easily from staying kept too damp

if time permits I try to unpot and leave barerooted for a day or 3, then into dry fresh mix (just about all coarse sand for easy-routers) and don't water for least a week or 3

Too much water and the roots rot. Plants are very tuff. Should rebound once you get things worked out. A little bright light and low to no water. More water come spring and dry again in summer. Spring and fall are it's growing time. Hot summer and cold winter is resting time. Let me know how it works out.

Could you pls. post a photo? H. fasciata isn't that common and often confused with attenuata.
