Haworthia Cooperi Plant Care

Haworthia Cooperi (Haworthia cooperi) belongs to the Asphodelaceae family within the Haworthia genus. Haworthia Cooperi is native to Eastern Cape Province in South Africa. Haworthia Cooperi is also known as Cooper's Haworthia, Pussy Foot, Window Haworthia.

Haworthia Cooperi displays a compact, clumping growth habit, reaching up to 0.3 ft tall with a spread of approximately 0.2 ft. Haworthia Cooperi produces small, tubular white or pale pink flowers on long, slender stalks.

Leaf size: approximately 1 inches.

Water a young or newly planted Haworthia Cooperi every 14–21 days, soaking the whole root zone, until it is established — usually one to two growing seasons. Established shrubs mainly need water during long dry spells. In a container, water whenever the top few centimetres of soil are dry.

Haworthia Cooperi thrives in bright indirect light. Avoid placing Haworthia Cooperi in direct, harsh sunlight for extended periods, as this can scorch the foliage.

Haworthia cooperi tolerates temperatures of 68–72°F. Haworthia Cooperi prefers humidity levels of 40–50%.

Well-draining soil mix. Good drainage is essential for Haworthia Cooperi to prevent waterlogging, which leads to root rot and fungal issues.

Choose a spot with bright indirect light and well-draining soil mix. Avoid low spots where water collects after rain.

Haworthia Cooperi is suited to USDA Zone 10a – 11b.

Plant container-grown or balled-and-burlapped shrubs in spring or early autumn, setting the root flare at soil level, and water well after planting.

Haworthia Cooperi can spread to about 0 ft (0.1 m) and reach about 0 ft (0 m) tall. Space plants about 0 ft (0.1 m) apart so mature crowns don't crowd each other, and plant at least half that distance from buildings, fences and paths.

Prune Haworthia Cooperi while it is dormant in late winter: first remove dead, damaged and crossing branches, then thin lightly for shape.

If it flowers in spring, prune right after flowering instead so you don't remove next year's buds. Never take off more than about a quarter of the shrub in one year.

Haworthia Cooperi is frost-tender (hardy to USDA zone 10). In colder areas grow it in a container and move it to a bright, frost-free place before the first frost.

Haworthia Cooperi can be propagated through division or leaf cuttings. Similar propagation techniques also apply to zebra plant plant care, which shares the same genus.

Haworthia Cooperi is susceptible to mealybugs, spider mites. Inspect the foliage regularly, especially along leaf undersides and stems. Treat infestations promptly with insecticidal soap or neem oil to prevent spread.

Haworthia Cooperi grows outdoors in USDA Zone 10a – 11b. It survives winters down to planting zone 10a. Haworthia Cooperi is native to Eastern Cape Province in South Africa. In cooler regions, grow Haworthia Cooperi as a houseplant or bring it indoors before the first frost.
