Certainly not quick, I would do it only if the root already broke.
On the other hand, I am not convinced that the more "traditional" leaf cuttings are any faster...

Re: H. truncata root cutting propagation anyone?
What exactly did you do? Slice through one of the roots at soil level, and wait for it to grow an offset? Or something else? I find Haworthia roots tend to be deciduous in my growing conditions (i.e. plants often lose roots and grow new ones) - so how would a root cutting work in such a case? I can...

H. truncata root cutting propagation anyone?
I finally managed to do it. Took a good few months, I didn't note the exact date down, though. Shame on me, I know.

And good luck with pricking out that Epithelantha!

Re: Haworthia first aid advice required.
I'd just add that it's not a species H. truncata, there's certainly someone else in the mix, perhaps H. cymbiformis (cf. https://www.llifle.com/Encyclopedia/SUC ... Lime_Green, it's not this, but leaning towards for sure).
