Haworthias store moisture in their thick leaves and are particularly sensitive to overwatering. Reduce watering during cooler or slower-growing periods, adjusting to the plant’s conditions rather than following a strict schedule.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eHumidity\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePrefers low to average household humidity with good airflow.
