Haworthia rubrobrunnea

About Haworthia Rubrobrunnea

Haworthia rubrobrunnea is a plant that is native to South Africa. It has plump leaves that can store water, which allows it to thrive in harsh, dry conditions. The leaves are green and curve upwards, resembling a majestic dragon's claw. The underside of the leaves is densely covered in white pearly dots, and the tips have red accents. Haworthia rubrobrunnea leaves are very varied. The lowest part of the outer layer of the leaf turns brown and the very tip of the leaf turns red and spreads.

How to care for Haworthia Rubrobrunnea

Sun/Temperature: Haworthia rubrobrunnea should be placed in an area that receives about 3 hours of full sun per day. In the summer, it should be protected from strong direct sunlight to prevent leaf sunburn. The ideal temperature range for this plant is between 60-80°F. If kept outside, it will need to be moved indoors during the winter.

Soil/Watering: When planting Haworthia rubrobrunnea, it's best to use sandy soil mixed with perlite, aquarium gravel, or pumice. Water the plant when the top inch of soil in the pot is dry and ensure the soil remains thoroughly moist. After watering, be sure to drain any excess water to avoid standing water in the pot.

Pot: For Haworthia rubrobrunnea, containers with drainage holes are ideal. Wide, shallow pots are best suited for the growth habit of this plant. It is also because of its rich colors and peculiar shapes that it is well suited for cultivation within the terrarium. However, extra attention needs to be paid to humidity and ventilation.

Propagation: Haworthia rubrobrunnea can be propagated by cutting off side shoots with sterilized scissors and then planting them in a dry pot after allowing the wounds to dry in a ventilated area.

Common Pests: Mealybugs are a common pest for this plant. If you notice them, you can wipe the surface of the leaves with soapy water or use a specialized insecticide spray to control them.

Winter shipping

We insist on shipping succulents to our customers all year round. However due to the extreme winter weather, although we pack succulents with as much protective material as possible, plants are still at increased risk of frost on their way to colder areas. We highly recommend adding one 72-hour heat pack to your order or you can request a hold on the package until it warms up.

Please note that The Next Gardener is not responsible for packages that suffer cold damage without a heat pack. We cannot control the weather. Order at your own risk.

Hawaii, Alaska, and Other US Territories

Fortunately, shipping is available to Alaska, Guam, and other U.S. Territories. However, due to numerous factors beyond our control, including customs checks and shipping delays, free shipping to Hawaii and Puerto Rico is not an option. And we can not provide the 14-day quality guarantee for orders going to Hawaii and Puerto Rico. The buyer will assume all risk of damage when a delivery is delayed. We appreciate your understanding.
