Haworthia ‘Princess Kazunomiya’

Haworthia 'Princess Kazunomiya' is a highly prized and distinctive hybrid succulent, often associated with Haworthia splendens due to its unique leaf characteristics. It's particularly notable for its unique leaf windows and texture.

* Appearance: This Haworthia forms a compact, rosette-shaped plant. Its most striking feature is its leaves, which are typically thick, rigid, and triangular or keeled, often flattening on the upper surface.

Care Guide:
* Light: 'Princess Kazunomiya' thrives in bright, indirect light. It can tolerate some direct morning sun, but intense afternoon sun, especially in hot climates, can scorch its leaves and cause them to turn brown or red (a sign of stress). It's often recommended to grow them under 40%-60% shade cloth, as stronger light can enhance its coloration without causing damage. If kept in too much shade, the pink coloration may fade, and the plant may appear more green.

* Watering: Like all succulents, it's crucial to avoid overwatering. Allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings. During its active growing seasons (spring and autumn), water thoroughly but infrequently. In winter, reduce watering significantly, allowing the soil to remain drier as the plant enters a period of dormancy. Ensure no water collects in the rosette, as this can lead to rot.

* Soil: Use a very well-draining succulent or cactus potting mix. A mix containing components like perlite, pumice, or coarse sand is ideal to ensure good aeration and prevent waterlogging.

* Temperature: This Haworthia prefers mild temperatures, ideally between 60-80°F (15-26°C). It is sensitive to cold and should be protected from frost, as it's not tolerant of temperatures below 40°F (5°C). If grown outdoors in colder climates, it should be brought indoors during winter.

* Humidity: Average household humidity is generally fine. Haworthia are adapted to dry environments and do not require high humidity.
