Hello, I have a succulent that the interwebs seems to have no idea what it is. It is common and I see it often in homes and stores. If you notice, it is growing very oddly and it's starting to turn yellow and rubbery on the three longest "arms". I'm very concerned. Please help! Thank you, Gina
I water it about/less than once a week and I add water slowly until I see it drain out of the bottom. Those three arms have been growing like that all winter and spring so I recently moved "Spikey" outside after being in the house all winter and spring thinking it needed more sun. After a day and a half it started to yellow on those long arms. Prior to that they were vibrant green and plump. Now they are rubbery and deflated it seems. Thank you for identifying my plant because it will help to narrow down my searches on how to care for it. And thank you for the welcome!
I love succulents. I'm from Texas so I used to grow them all the time. Haworthia is one of my faves. Did you find out what was wrong? Too much water? Climate change?
I guess it was that I put it in the sun and Haworthias dislike direct sunlight and the 100 degree weather with high humidity we are experiencing this Summer. Once I took it back inside it went back to being green but not quite as plump as before. I re-potted it in a smaller vase since they like to be root bound and it seems to be helping with the growth.
What you have done is absolutley right! Haworthias prefer bright but indirect sunlight. You may also add gasterias and echeveria pulvinata which like lower light levels like haworthia to have a succulent dish garden!
