Sadly like in your jade plant post it's the same problem: Greg doesn't evaluated pictures. It assumes your plant is happy from all the conditions that it is in avoiding to your plant card. The diagnosis of issues like this, however it's even better on Greg via it's terrific community. I don't know about haworthias, so I can't help you. But you could add more hashtags like #notsohappyplants and #succulentsquad to your post. Just edit them in. That ensures that more people who can help, can see it, and you will have an answer in no time.
@PottedNovice Hi Michelle! You need to put this guy in a proper pot with drainage holes. Haworthia are succulents, so they're prone to root rot when their soil stays damp too long. Drainage holes help soil dry out faster, which is very important for haworthia and all succulents/cacti. You should only be watering when the soil is completely dried out. It's also important to use the right soil — a gritty, well-draining mix is best. I use succulent soil as my base, then I add lots of perlite (3 parts soil, 1 part perlite). Terracotta pots are best for these plants since they're porous and help the soil dry out faster. Lastly, Haworthia like plenty of bright light but will turn red and wrinkly with too much direct sun. A perfect spot is an east-facing window, since morning sun is gentler than afternoon sun. If you make these changes, I believe your plant can bounce back and be healthy 😊
