Sorry to contradict haworthia-org, but with the exception of H. limifolia, koelmaniorum and mcmurtryi , haworthias are plants which grow during the cooler months of the year.

This is the part where one shoul...

Hello, I am new to succulents and I am still learning to grow them. Unfortunately I watered too much one of my Haworthias white ghost and it rot :???: . I unpotted it but there were only 2 good leaves left, I carefully removed them and let them dry for 3 days to heal the wound. Now which is best to ...
