I bought a plant a few weeks ago .... repotted it ..... left it a week and then watered it.
The bottom leaves and the offsets have gone very brown, but the top seems to be OK.
What should be my strategy?
Haworthia lisbonensis advice please

First essential is to unpot it and see if the roots have rotted, then maybe remove brown leaves and offsets if they are soft and rotten. Leave to dry in a shady place, before repotting in a fast draining mix, leave a week or two, then cautiously water from bottom.

Re: Haworthia lisbonensis advice please
I would be interested in what your lisbonensis looks like.
This was a name invalidly published in 1946, and Sean Gildenhuys then validly pubished it as the hybrid Haworthiopsis x lisbonensis in 2016. It is not a plant I am familiar with. Thanks.
