hey all! a few weeks ago i took some cuttings of my harworthia and was wondering how often i should be watering them? i sprayed the soil very lightly with water when i first planted them but not sure what to do now 🥹 the little one is called harriet and the bigger baby is called hector!

They’re cute! I wouldn’t water them at all until they have roots. And then just a directed few drops right at the base.

Did you take some of the mother plants roots with the pups or cut them at the base?

#### chicken replied on 2024-09-08

they both have some baby roots!

Any chance you have some smaller pots? You could try watering with just a few drops at the base of the plant but you’ll want to make sure you’re watering very infrequently, with a higher soil to root ratio you’ll increase your chances for root rot.

i don’t have any smaller ones they were the smallest i could find and the plants are teeny! how often to water would you say?
