Try more sun, I move mine into the sun until they start to get that red/brown color. I use 1/4 forest compost potting soil, 1/4 coir, and 1/2 perlite and/or turface for all my succulents, haven't lost a plant since i switched to this.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14573299.post-54365492045126442332011-08-01T17:39:44.740-05:002011-08-01T17:39:44.740-05:00I was having a similar problem with a haworthia cy...I was having a similar problem with a haworthia cymbyformis and an Alöe hybrid(descoingsii x Haworthioides). So I changed the soil for pure peat moss and inmediatly they star to root, I was exeptic because peat keeps moist for long periods but Now they look better so I think a aireation of the substract is key. I had also read that haworthias love coconut coir but I haven't tried yet. Be carefull other kinds of haworthias rot easyly and prefer a mineral substract instead of organics soils. Also the size of the pot should be acording to the size of the plant so it keeps moist snd dryes more efficiently.<br /><br />I'm not an expert or anything like that, to be honest I recently get involved with haworthias but in my little experience this are good points to considerate: <br /><br />1)Subtrack: Should keep moist but not be waterlogged, good aireation is provided by not to small size of grit, sand or peat. You can use perlite, vermiculite, canadian sphagnum peat moss, or equilibrated mixes of them to me make the susbstrac more light and permeable. <br /><br />2)Light. Morning sunlight and afternoun shade.<br /><br />3)Pot. Size, shape and material of the pot are some points to considerate to andjust the right substrate. <br /> <br />Hope this hels, if it not at leat I try. <br />Good luck!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14573299.post-57521110364329759852007-02-07T11:10:00.000-06:002007-02-07T11:10:00.000-06:00Yeah plants that don't move one way or the other a...Yeah plants that don't move one way or the other are really frustrating.MrBrownThumbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11326733084344581944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14573299.post-29816361783067740442007-02-07T02:45:00.000-06:002007-02-07T02:45:00.000-06:00I know how you feel.

I had it in the house because I knew it wouldn't survive in the greenhouse but unfortunately someone moved it into there because 'it was in the way'. When I woke up and found out, the poor thing flopped over. I kept hearing, "It was only in there for fifteen minutes! I swear!" but the poor thing never recovered. For a year and a half, it looked like a stick. It was alive... but it never grew. It never grew any leaves or grew taller but it was still green and alive. I eventually threw it away because I was just tired of looking at it.DragonStonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06166365391281481870noreply@blogger.com
