Bart’s Blooming!

It’s so cute! I found this one unlabeled at a local nursery, and guessing it’s a Haworthia cooperi? I don’t keep it in this window for more than a few hours: intense CO sun stresses them out. I’m a recovering plant killer and it’s taken me 3 years to figure this out. πŸ™ƒ #Haworthia #HaworthiaCooperi

Omg yay!!
Took me a while to figure out Haworthias too. Mine get light from a small east facing window that is mostly shaded by a large tree and they love it there :)
@roxyvivien They’re so pretty…and addicting. I had to cut myself off! My old apt had an east facing window and they were the happiest there. I have south and west facing windows now, so I have them 1 ft away from the west window with a sheer curtain. Curtain may not be necessary, but I overlook a sketchy alley. πŸ™ˆ
I also use a sheer curtain for the ones by my south facing window when the sun is too intense. (Although this is an Haworthiopsis and can take a bit more sun than most Haworthia I’ve found. )

I end up moving most of my east window Haworthia to join on the bar cart during the winter when they need more light, especially when my landlord hasn’t trimmed the tree in front of our house but he east window and it’s blocking too much sun…. They appreciate the extra light that time of year for sure :)
I have a cute little pot just like that in a turquoise color and a green 😊 I also have a variegated haworthia cooperi that is in recovery from not enough light πŸ˜‚ I now have it in a north facing window and it seems to be happy there now!
@roxyvivien I have a Haworthia window too! They love it there also. I have my Gasteraloe, & alworthia, in that window too 😊 . Very addicting for sure! They are honestly underrated I think because there are so many different ones, and they are relatively easy to care for although slow growing.
Congrats on your flower!
Here’s all my Haworthia, like I said I just love them ☺️ @roxyvivien @Pi3r0mane
