can anyone help me save this Haworthia? Please help!

7 years ago

I accidentally poured a little bit of water over the top of this plant and it was too much for the little fella. It started to rot very quickly. I pulled off the soft, rotted leaves and cut away a black part of the roots. This is what I have left.

It’s been drying out for 3 days. The root area is kinda brownish, but the leaves left are still green. Can it be saved? Please I’ll take any advice related to saving this plant. I hope it’s not too far gone.

It's a Haworthia limifolis and they are pretty resilient. Pop it back onto the surface of the pot out of direct sunlight and leave it alone. It will start making roots and once you see little bumps forming you can bury the bottom into the mix and start watering

bay area guy,

I am in agreement with nik! As well as that, I am not sure what kind of pot and soil your plant is in, but make sure it's a well draining pot, and I recommend for soil using one that is specifically designed for Cactus and Succulents. I was able to find some at my local gardening center, but if there isn't one near you, amazon is a dear friend.

Overall, your plant looks good and I am sure it will come back! Good luck
