No roots..??
Hello #greggang,
Need help with my Gasteria Okavango. I have had this plant for over a year. Bought it from IKEA.
The plant looks well, but roots(??) have all fallen off.
I wouldn't think this is normal. Any ideas on what's happening.
PS: Greg identifies this as Haworthia fasciata and I can't figure out how to change it to Gasteria Okavango. #plantsmakepeoplehappy #wednesdaysucc

I would inspect the bottom for the signs of a rot. If it looks nice and no rot there then I would dip it in cinnamon, to prevent rot. After that I would just stick it into dry succulent mix and wait. It should show some roots in about 2 weeks. You can check on roots every couple days. When you see roots there - just mist the top soil a little bit every day. Also, just place the pot into bright location BUT no direct sunlight.
@FocusedWoodruff Hello 👋 and welcome to Greg, SpaceCat! I would like to bring in @vvvelo to answer this question. I’m not good with succulents even tho I have some.
@FocusedWoodruff I hope it helps! In general Haworthia does not need bright light. They tolerate low light and grow slow. They don’t like overwatering, because of their thick roots that absorb everything and then just rot if there is a lot of water.
