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.

Fortunately, shipping is available to Alaska, Guam, and other U.S. Territories.
