A few months ago I got into haworthias. One of them are throwing off pups and I'm just trying to get ready for when the time comes.
Interestingly enough, it seems like the plant has put all its efforts in growing the pups and not so much in growing the mother plant. There has been minimal growth for the mother plant. The pups have been growing quickly. I'm not sure if this is typical. Hopefully it is typical and not an indicator of the succulent saying "yeah buddy, you effed up...i have no roots so im just trying to survive".
I digress, I found some vids online on how to remove pups but was curious if anyone here has any first hand experience?
I have the following questions for Haworthia pups :
1) Are your growing conditions relatively dry/humid and warm/cold?
2) What kind of medium do you use? For all my haworthias I'm using 100% akadama.
3) How often do you water?
4) Do you use rooting hormones on the pups?
5) Do you use fertilizer?
6) Do you grow your pups along side any orchids? If so which genera?
