Yay!! I love haworthias so much because they’re such resistant and beautiful plants!
As with many other succulents, they like bright indirect light and need to be watered sparingly! Only water when the soil is completely dried out (this can be anywhere from 2 to even 4 weeks) to avoid overwatering. When you do water it, give it a nice deep drink and let the water pour out the bottom drain holes. It should be in succulent/cacti soil as well. Avoid getting it on the leaves and make sure the plant can breathe and air out well. Some signs for thirst would be wrinkly leaves and some color changes (more stressed looking or dull can both be signs).

Congrats on your new Haworthia! 😍
I'm in love with this succulent species 💚
They make great indoor succulents...but don't be fooled by the general succulent guidelines online!
They are many differences in Care for Haworhia compared to other species of succulents.
Haworhtias are very sensitive to WHEN you water and improper watering can lead to root rot. It's not just the length of time between waterings and making sure the medium is dry - it's also room tempurature, future weather for the week & time of day.
Additionally, finding
the right balance of light (no intense direct light but also a good amount of bright indoor light) is a challenge, especially if you're aiming for proper symmetrical growth.
Lastly, I highly recommend a little desk fan set on low to keep your Haworthia happy.
