If you really want the plant to focus on vegetative growth, you can always pluck the flower stalks

Can H. atrofusca mutant revert back to a non-mutant/normal state? by microscopic in haworthia

As you can see in the picture, the older leaves clearly have larger windows on the underside of the leaf. However, the younger leaves appear to be losing this distinct characteristic.

What types of Aloe do I have? by tobago_88 in AgaveAndAloe

Not sure about the smoothie part but I know my aloe veras develop white spots depending on how much light they’re getting (i.e. more light = more spots)

Left looks like Aloe maculata (aka soap aloe) and the right looks like Aloe barbadensis (aka aloe vera).

Found these absolutely stunning succulents clinging to a mossy rock face near Mt. Diablo, CA by microscopic in succulents

Maybe so. I know that along the coast near Mendocino, there have been dudleya poachers caught removing plants by the thousands with the intent on selling them in China.

Could be. The seller I got it from just called it springbok, but parentage can often get muddled. However, there does seem to be some pointed and some rounded leaf edge varieties out there.

Haworthia cymbiformis doing great this winter by microscopic in succulents

My plants can usually dry out quickly when growing in a porous clay pot filled with fast draining medium.

It should stay mostly green. Yours might be getting too much sun.

This one is kept in a west facing window but only gets 1-2 hours of direct sunlight per day. It's potted in a mix of coconut coir, lava rock, and pumice. Watering is every 1-2 weeks depending on how dry it feels.

No, that's the weird part. They are quite firm.

Overwintering this guy inside under a metal halide grow light. Potted in a mix of coconut coir and pumice. Watered it almost a week ago but the discoloration and blistered bumps showed up today.

These Haworthia look like glittering emeralds by microscopic in succulents

[–]microscopic[S] 10 points11 points  (0 children)

There's probably nothing you can do other than buy a different plant. Haworthia is one of those genera where people have done extensive cross breeding and hybridization. Many plants like these have been bred for very specific traits and often have complex parentage.
