The russet scab can gain up to 3.6 inches ( 9 curium ) in diameter and slowly produce offsets , mould a cluster over time . The leaves are vertical and incurved , measuring up to 2.4 in ( 6 cm ) long and 0.6 inches ( 1.5 cm ) widely .
The livid flowers have light brownish veins and come out on simple , lax chaff that can arise up to 20 inches ( 50 cm ) long in winter .
Haworthia aristatawas describe a long time ago byAdrian Hardy Haworth , and since then , there has been a discourse about the hardiness of the species . Each taxonomist has a different view on this element and apply it to a dissimilar group of plants .
brightness level : Place the potted plant life in a shiny surface area with some auspices from the hot ray of the day . clean , yellow , or carmine - touch leaves usually suggest that yourH. aristatais receive too much sunlight . Deep shade incline to weaken the plant life over a prolonged stop . If your plant life has spent the wintertime indoors , step by step move it out of doors into the bright Lord’s Day to prevent sunburn .
Soil : Like allHaworthias , this plant does not like its roots to persist tight for draw out periods , so the dirt should be well - drained . Use a commercial-grade potting commixture for succulents , ormake your own .
Hardiness : This succulent likes warm temperatures in the summer but cool in the wintertime . However , it does not care being too cold . H. aristatacan hold temperatures as small as 30 to 50 ° F ( -1.1 to 10 ° C),USDA hardiness zones10a to 11b .
Watering : In spring and fall , when the growth is most active , waterH. aristatathoroughly , then waitress until the top of the soil dries out before tearing again . Water your plant less during the wintertime when its maturation slows down significantly . During the hot summer months , when this flora is mostly dormant , water just enough to keep the leaf from shriveling .
Fertilizing : H. aristatadoes not require much fertilizer . However , for optimal ontogenesis , fertilizing is a unspoilt thought . Feedonly with a dilute plant food and only during the active growing time of year .
Repotting : This slow - develop succulent can stay in the same pot for year . However , repotH. aristatainto saucy soil every two to three years in spring or fall to keep your plant healthy and glad . Repotting time is also the clip to take offset for propagation .
Propagation : Vegetative multiplication , especially by offsets , is the quickest and most vulgar method of propagatingH. aristata . This works can also be propagated by leaves and seeds . Remove the offsets when they have start develop their own roots . Sow seed in fountain or descend in a well - draining soil mix .
