Description
Haworthiopsis attenuata 'Crazed Glaze', formerly known as Haworthia attenuata 'Crazed Glaze', is a small succulent that forms rosettes of dark green leaves covered with white, irregularly-shaped tubercles. The rosettes can reach up to 6 inches (15 cm) in height and diameter, while the leaves can grow up to 3.2 inches (8 cm) long and 0.8 inches (2 cm) wide.
The white flowers have green or reddish-brown veins and appear on slender, branched stalks, typically from spring to fall.
How to Grow and Care for Haworthiopsis attenuata 'Crazed Glaze'
Light: Although most species can tolerate full sun, these succulents thrive in semi-shaded positions. However, brighter light conditions are needed to bring out the leaf coloration.
Soil: Plant your Haworthiopsis in commercial soil formulated for succulents or make your own well-draining potting mix.
Hardiness: Haworthiopsis attenuata 'Crazed Glaze' can withstand temperatures as low as 30 to 50 °F (-1.1 to 10 °C), USDA hardiness zones 10a to 11b.
Watering: In spring and fall, when the growth is most active, water Haworthiopsis thoroughly, then wait until the top of the soil dries out before watering again. Water your plants less during the winter when their growth slows down significantly. During the hottest summer months, when Haworthiopsis are mostly dormant, water it just enough to keep the leaves from shriveling.
Fertilizing: Haworthiopsis are slow-growing succulents and do not require much fertilizer. Therefore, feed with a dilute fertilizer and only from spring to fall.
Repotting: When the plant has outgrown its container, repot in the spring or early summer into a new, slightly larger pot with fresh soil.
Propagation: Haworthiopsis are mostly and easily grown from stem cuttings or by removing offsets from the mother plant.
