Haworthiopsis Reinwardtii

 

Reinwardt Haworthia

Haworthia generally resemble miniature aloes, except in their flowers. They are popular garden and container plants. The plants can grow solitary or can be clump-forming. Their flowers are small, white and very similar between species. But their leaves show wide variations. 'Reinwardtii' is a perennial succulent, with stems growing to 20 cm in height, with a basal rosette of white-spotted fleshy leaves and racemes of pinkish-white flowers in spring.

Flowering

From Mid Summer TO Mid Summer

Reinwardtii will produce flowers, usually a few weeks after the "longest day" of the year, i.e. in Summer. However the flowers aren't very exciting, although because Haworthia is a very slow plant not much happens visually during the year therefore the flowering period can be a welcome treat to show that your plant is actually "alive".

 

Planting young plants

From Early Spring TO Early Spring

When you re-pot your Haworthia you can separate the offsets from the parent. Use a sharp knife and cut as close to the parent plant as possible, ensure the offset has some roots. Wait a day for the offset to dry slightly then pot up in a small container using a standard potting or cactus compost mix. Water and keep warm.
