What it is: This listing is a plant sold as Haworthia turgida. This care follows general Haworthia guidance. Our photos show plump clustered leaves.

Light: Bright indirect light or some gentle sun suits Haworthia and brings out the best leaf colour; they also tolerate somewhat lower light (NC State Extension). Avoid harsh afternoon sun that can scorch leaves. A grow bulb can help in dark winters.

Watering & care: Use a well-drained cactus or succulent mix and let the medium dry out between waterings (NC State Extension). Overwatering causes root rot. Water less in cool, low-light winter months.

Humidity: Average home humidity is fine (NC State Extension). A pebble tray is optional and only gives a small, local boost.

Temperature: Keep it in ordinary room temperatures and away from frost and cold drafts; NC State Extension notes these plants are frost-sensitive. Zebra-type guidance often suggests roughly 16–27 °C (60–80 °F) and avoiding prolonged cold below about 10 °C (50 °F).

Winter indoors: In winter, keep it away from cold windows and drafts, water much less often, and still check that the mix is dry before watering.

Expected indoor size: As a houseplant, NC State Extension lists Haworthia about 5–30 cm (2–12 in) tall and wide. How large yours gets depends on light, warmth, pot size and care, and we can't promise a particular leaf size or shape.

Feeding: Feed lightly only in spring and summer while it is growing; our Schultz All Purpose Plant Food works at a light dilution. Ease off in fall and winter.

Pets & pests: Haworthia is listed as non-toxic to dogs and cats (ASPCA). Still keep an eye out for mealybugs; root rot follows excess water (NC State Extension).

About your plant: Every plant is a little different. Size, fullness and leaf count vary from plant to plant and change with age and light; young plants may not yet show mature leaf features, so we can't promise a particular leaf size or shape. The size option (2.5") refers to the pot diameter. It does not guarantee an exact plant height or leaf count. Photos show typical plants from our greenhouse, not the specific plant you will receive.
