Haworthia Mirabilis

Description

Haworthia Mirabilis – This small, stemless succulent hails from South Africa's rocky foothills of the Western Cape where it often takes refuge in crevices between rocks in the wild. Each lime green to yellow green, succulent leaf is retused at the tip and has the distinctive translucent, lined "window" to allow light to reach the inner parts of the leaf - lending it a glazed, jewel-like effect. In fact the species name mirabilis which means 'wonderful' or 'remarkable' in Latin is testament to the incredibly intricate patterning.

Haworthia Mirabilis Bright and indirect light is preferred to intensify these beautiful markings and provide an optimum natural environment to this stunning variety. Plants of Haworthia Mirabilis adapt well to moderate shade especially that found in their natural rocky habitat and will only start to lose some of their colour over time with inadequate light. A low-maintenance and small growing succulent these plants never need too much space so their naturally contained habit makes them perfect for windowsills, studies, desks and office spaces. We can also see this plant fitting well within shallow dishes, succulent bowl arrangements and terrariums

This Haworthia Mirabilis is a small offset cluster creating the ‘rosette formation’. It is a slow-growing, unfussy succulent perfect for beginners to plant as it is tolerant and does not require feeding regularly or watering frequently. As time progresses this variety forms offsets forming the rosette and continues to develop very slowly, retaining an incredibly compact and detail focused form with the appropriate conditions for years to come.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Why is my Haworthia Mirabilis turning brown or reddish? 

A: The most common cause for your Haworthia's leaves to become reddish or brownish is a response to excessive bright, direct sun. It means your plant feels stressed and while not damaging to it, if you wish for the leaves to retain their original green color simply move the plant into a location that receives good, indirect bright light or some filtering morning sun.

Q: When should I water this plant next?

A: Water deeply once the soil completely dries between waterings. Depending on your region and the pot size, this may mean every 10-14 days in the summer months and much less frequent in the winter months. Use the dry soil, and not a strict schedule as your indicator.

Q: Is it suitable to keep this Haworthia at indoor place? 

A: Yes,Haworthia mirabilis works excellently when kept indoors where the room receives plenty of light but in an indirect spot, for instance close to an east-oriented windowsill. This haworthia is not picky with as much light as it has other many succulents hence it is possible to keep them where they receive mild light exposure.

Q: How fast does the plant grow?

A: Haworthia Mirabilis grows very slowly. It may take a few years for the rosette to achieve full size, and slowly over time produces offsets around the base, in time becoming a nice tight clump.

When is the right time to put this plant in a new pot?

A: Repotting every 2-3 years should be sufficient, or once theOffsets start overcrowding its pot. This plant doesn't particularly like to be in too large of a space and would prefer to stay a bit snuggly in its container. Go in spring or early summer and use a well-draining pot.

Q: Is this pet safe? 

A: The Haworthia Mirabilis is not considered to be toxic. However, and with that, keep all plant life away from any pet who may nibble, and talk to your veterinarian in the case you get worried your animal somehow consumed the plant.
