Today I decided to transplant my little zebra plant. It is surrounded by offshoots, and I need to remove the small shoots around it to transplant them, as well as change its pot.
I carefully removed the offshoots that are furthest from its delicate, thin leaves. I always try to make sure that the offshoots of these succulent plants have roots so that the transplant is more effective.
There were five offshoots around it, but now only the small ones and those that are very attached to its leaves remain. I don't want to break it.
There used to be a cactus in this pot. I removed it because the pot became too small for it. While the cactus is in another larger pot, I can recycle this one and put my zebra in it. I still remember when my zebra was so small that it was barely bigger than the offshoots I removed today. Even so, this Haworthia has grown a lot in size, although it is still small.
It does not grow very quickly, nor does it grow very tall. It will always be smaller than many of the succulents next to it. These small offshoots will also be transplanted into other small pots.
They have all been transplanted here. The mother plant is in a single pot, and the little ones are also in small pots. The two smallest ones are in recycled plastic containers, waiting to take root. Then the process of transplanting them to a larger pot will happen again, but at another time.
This is an exotic succulent. Not many people have it, and many ask to buy it. My plant does not reproduce very quickly. Also, sometimes I am not very successful with transplanting because one or the other has dried out during the process. I think that in some cases the root could not be extracted and, as they are very small, they could not attach themselves well to the substrate.
This time, I am taking great care to add these small stones to help them stay strong in the pot.
