Haworthias are small succulent plants, forming rosettes of leaves from 3 cm (1.2 in) to exceptionally 30 cm (12 in) in diameter, depending on the species. These rosettes are usually stemless but in some species stems reach up to 50 cm (20 in). The inflorescences of some species may exceed 40 cm (16 in) in height. The plants can grow solitary or can be clump-forming. Many species have firm, tough, fleshy leaves, usually dark green in colour, whereas others are softer and contain leaf windows with translucent panels through which sunlight can reach internal photosynthetic tissues. Their flowers are small, and generally white. Though they are very similar between species, flowers from the species in section Hexangulares generally have green striations and those from other species often have brown lines in the flowers. However, their leaves show wide variations even within one species. Additionally, when the plants are stressed (e.g. deprived of water), their colours can change to reds and purples. Depriving them of nitrogen generally results in paler leaves.

Pruning
The ideal time to utilize this method of haworthia propagation is at the end of the dormancy period or the beginning of the growing season. Choose a healthy young leaf. (Older leaves near the base of the plant don’t root well.) Using a sharp knife, cut off the leaf. Avoid using scissors, which can damage the fleshy leaves
Fertilizer
Fertilize: Do NOT fertilize newly potted plants for the first year. After that, fertilize once in spring, once in fall. Avoid summer fertilizing as plant is in a short rest period
Temperature
They do best in the temperature ranging from 75 to 90 °F (24 to 32 °C). Some species can survive a light frost for a short period, but it is best not to take chances. Most Haworthias are cold hardy down to USDA hardiness zone 10a, 30 °F (-1.1 °C).
Additional
Haworthia resendeana is a perennial succulent plant native to South Africa. It tends to grow in a stacking rossette formation, sometimes reaching upwards of 30cm in height. The leaves have numerous tubercles, and the plant color can vary anywhere from dark green to reddish pink with stress.
