寿（Haworthia retusa）的基本数据

养护难度

适合新手

寿命

多年生（寿命资料较少）

体型

莲座直径5～10（～15）厘米，叶长2.5～4（～8）厘米

浇水

春秋生长期施用缓效肥料或稀释液体肥料少量

光照与放置位置

全年在明亮散射光下养护。虽然直射阳光也不会导致枯萎，但会减缓生长并使其失去饱满的外观。稍微增加光照会使叶片呈现红色并紧凑。

浇水

春秋生长型，春季（3～6月）和秋季（9～11月）生长。生长期待土表面干燥后充分浇水，夏季和冬季减少浇水。在温度恒定的室内可能全年生长。

温度与越冬

冬季在不结冰的明亮处休眠，保持土壤湿润，避免受到严寒刺激。

土壤与换盆

使用排水良好的土壤，当土壤老化导致生长缓慢时，在生长期开始前或初期进行换盆。

繁殖方法

可通过分株、叶插和播种繁殖。适期为3～5月和9～10月。摘取叶片时务必带上基部。

病害虫及注意事项

花朵易被介壳虫和蚜虫侵害，根部可能遭粉蚧侵染。过湿的土壤易导致蕈蚋幼虫损伤根茎。

关于寿（Haworthia retusa）

Haworthia retusa (Kotobuki) is a succulent with glossy triangular leaves in a star-shaped rosette and translucent, vertically lined windows. Rosettes reach 5–10 cm. Beginner-friendly care and buying tips.

开始养护寿（Haworthia retusa）前需要了解的7件事

1. 1Bright, part shade

   A bright spot with light filtered through a sheer curtain suits it well. Strong midsummer sun can scorch the leaves, while too little light makes them stretch and spoils the tidy rosette. With a rosette of roughly 5–10 cm, it is easy to keep on a shelf or a small tray.

2. 2Water when dry

   Wait until the soil is fully dry, then water thoroughly until it runs out of the pot's drainage hole. The thick leaves store water, so keeping the plant on the dry side is safer than overwatering. Pour water at the base rather than into the center of the rosette, where standing water can cause damage.

3. 3Fast-draining soil

   A fast-draining mix works best, such as commercial succulent soil blended with pumice or akadama-type grit. The roots are thick and fleshy, so soil that stays wet can lead to root rot. Choose a pot with a drainage hole.

4. 4Pots and repotting

   Pick a pot only slightly larger than the rosette, and repot roughly every one to two years once the roots fill the pot. Spring or autumn is best, avoiding the hottest and coldest months. Hold off on watering right after repotting and resume once the roots have settled.

5. 5Summer: shade, airflow

   Hot, humid summers are the toughest season for this plant. Move it to a shaded, well-ventilated spot and water sparingly to avoid stuffiness and rot. Growth slows in this period, so skip fertilizer and wait for cooler weather.

6. 6Winter: avoid frost

   Frost and cold drafts can damage the leaves, so keep it in a bright spot indoors. Growth is slow in winter, so water less often and let the soil stay on the dry side. Avoid places where heater airflow blows directly on the plant.

7. 7Choosing a healthy plant

   Look for plants with clear windows, firm leaves and a rosette that keeps its shape. Check that the leaf bases and the crown are not blackened or wobbly. Window patterns and sizes vary from plant to plant, so review the photos and the grower's description to find one you like.

寿（Haworthia retusa）的常见问题

Q.Can beginners grow it?

A.Its growing difficulty is rated as beginner-friendly. Keep it in bright light out of harsh direct sun and water only after the soil dries, and it is an easy succulent to care for.

Q.Is direct sunlight okay?

A.Strong midsummer sun can scorch the leaves, so filtered light or bright part shade is better. Too little light makes the leaves stretch, so avoid dark spots as well.

Q.How often should I water?

A.Go by whether the soil has dried out rather than a fixed schedule. Water thoroughly once it is dry, and cut back in summer and winter when growth slows. Lifting the pot to feel how light it is can help you judge.

Q.Why are the windows shriveling?

A.It may be lack of water, or damaged roots that cannot take water up. If the soil is bone dry, water and watch for recovery. If the plant shrivels while the soil is damp, unpot it and check the roots.

Q.How long can I keep it?

A.It is a perennial, but reliable sources on its lifespan are scarce, so a specific number of years cannot be given. With regular care such as repotting it can be kept for a long time, and if offsets appear you can divide them to make new plants.
