Pups?

#haworthiafasciata #plantbabies #pupsnplants #happyplants #plantsmakepeoplehappy #plantaddict #propagationstation

I noticed that Hammy had some little pups around his base. I tried twisting gently but I think I left the roots behind on the two on the left. Should I try to propagate anyway? Any advice would be appreciated.

@HPplants Yes it is possible so I would try. If the Haworthia pups have no roots, allow them to dry out for a few days to callus over before planting in a well-draining, gritty soil mix, and avoid overwatering. Keep the soil even moist but not waterlogged to prevent root rot. Since they are all so small, I suggest watering using a spray mister and just mist the soil every few days to keep it moist. You can also wrap it in sphagnum moss instead of soil but only after it calluses and you dip the end in root hormone before wrapping. mist the moss every few days to keep it moist. I put a plastic dome or plastic bag over my plants I’m trying to root after I put in soil or moss but that may not work of a Hayworthia.
Thanks for the great advice! I let the ends dry out and dipped them in rooting hormone. Added to some succulent mix, spritzed and put near my window at work. Fingers crossed for Hammy's babies!
Not sure. It is my husband's name. Most of that family is from Iowa.
