_Posted by Joycita on 2026-02-06_

My haworthia fell down and broke off a large chunk of growth. Can I just stick the part that fell off (2nd photo) in dirt to root? The 3rd photo was the plant before the fall. Any suggestions on how to save her welcome!

Yes you can!!! Just put it in dirt! She will root! Spritz with water after a couple weeks

Yeah, my friend gave me two pieces from her plant and I just shoved him in dirt and they just took hold

Good to hear! That’s exactly what I did so now we wait.
