Gasteria and Haworthia are two genera of succulents that are closely related and share similar characteristics. Both varieties prefer a partially shaded to bright location. They tolerate indirect light well and can be grown indoors near a bright window or outdoors in a partially shaded location. A "dry out" approach is recommended for these plants. Wait until the soil is completely dry between waterings to prevent root rot. Generally, watering every 1 to 2 weeks is often appropriate, but this can vary depending on environmental conditions. Reduce watering during the winter months when the plant is dormant.
