康普頓玉露的基本資料

栽培難度

適合中級者

壽命

野生地約15-20年

體型

蓮座直徑5-9（-12）cm，葉長4-5cm

澆水

春季和秋季生育期施用少量緩效肥料或液體肥料

光照和擺放位置

全年在明亮的半陰環境下養護。強烈的直射日光會損害窗面的色澤和質感。

澆水

春秋生長型，生育期在春季（3-6月）和秋季（9-11月），需要定期澆水。待盆土表面乾燥後充分澆透，夏季和冬季減少澆水使其休眠。

溫度和越冬

安全養護的最低溫度為5℃。如果盆土乾燥，可忍耐短期低溫，但應避免霜凍。

盆土和換盆

使用排水良好的盆土種植，在生育期前或初期進行換盆。

繁殖方法

由於分生幼株較少，可通過葉插、根插和播種繁殖。為了保留圖案優美的株體，應採用葉插等株體繁殖方式。

病蟲害和注意事項

花上容易出現介殼蟲和蚜蟲，根部可能感染根粉蚧。過濕的盆土要注意真菌蠓幼蟲。

關於康普頓玉露

Haworthia comptoniana is a succulent with flat leaf windows and a net-like pattern of white speckles. Rosettes reach 5–9 cm, leaves 4–5 cm, and it suits intermediate growers. Learn its features, care basics and how to choose a plant.

開始照料康普頓玉露前需要了解的7件事

1. 1Know the difficulty

   This species is rated for intermediate growers. Its roots are easily damaged by stuffy air or too much water, so some experience with placement and watering helps. If you have grown a succulent before, you can start without much trouble.

2. 2Bright shade is best

   Soft light through a sheer curtain or bright shade suits it well. Strong direct sun can scorch the windows and leaf tips and leave marks, so shade it in summer. With too little light the leaves stretch and lose their compact shape.

3. 3Water after it dries

   Wait until the soil is fully dry, then water until it runs out of the drainage holes. Pour at the base of the plant, since water left in the center of the rosette can cause rot. Soil that stays constantly damp leads to root rot.

4. 4Fast-draining soil

   Mixing pumice or akadama-type grit into a succulent potting mix improves drainage and makes the plant easier to keep. Because it sends roots down deep, a slightly deeper pot works well. An unglazed terracotta pot, which breathes well, is another good option.

5. 5Repot spring or fall

   Repot about every one to two years in spring or fall, when the plant is actively growing. Shake off the old soil lightly, trim only damaged roots, and set it in fresh mix. Waiting a few days before the first watering helps prevent root damage.

6. 6Getting through seasons

   It grows best in spring and fall. In midsummer, keep it in airy, bright shade and water sparingly so it can rest. In winter, protect it from frost and freezing, and keep it fairly dry in a bright indoor spot.

7. 7Choosing a plant

   Look for a plant with clear windows, free of cloudiness or dents, and a well-defined net pattern. Check that the leaves are firm, the base does not wobble, and there is no discoloration where the leaves join the stem. If a photo is unclear, ask the seller about the plant's condition and how it has been grown.

康普頓玉露的常見問題

Q.Can a beginner grow it?

A.It is rated for intermediate growers. Beginners may feel more comfortable after getting used to basic succulent care, such as placement and watering. If you keep to a fairly dry routine, it is still possible to give it a try.

Q.How large does it get?

A.The rosette is usually 5–9 cm across, up to about 12 cm in larger plants, with leaves 4–5 cm long. It is larger than its close relative emelyae.

Q.How often should I water it?

A.Go by the soil rather than the calendar: water thoroughly once it has dried out completely. Cut back in midsummer and in winter.

Q.What is the leaf window?

A.The window is the translucent area at the leaf tip, a feature seen across the Haworthia group. In this variety it is flat and smooth, crossed by a net pattern with white speckles. Sun damage tends to leave marks, so grow it with some shade.

Q.How long can it live?

A.In its natural habitat it is said to live about 15–20 years. Lifespan in a pot depends on conditions and care, so good drainage and airflow are the key to keeping it for a long time.
