How to prune coarctata haworthia

Any time dead material appears; after blooming. Pull dead lower leaves away from the stem with a gentle downward motion. Snip spent flower stalks at their base with sterilised scissors.

Rarely — only as dead growth accumulates. Haworthiopsis coarctata needs almost no pruning. It grows in a columnar form with densely packed leaves — simply remove dead or withered lower leaves from the stem base as they appear. Cut spent flower stalks back after blooming. No heading back or shaping cuts are needed or appropriate for this species.
