How to prune cooper's haworthia (pilifera)

Rarely — as needed for tidiness. Haworthia cooperi var. pilifera requires almost no pruning. Simply remove dead or damaged outer leaves by peeling them away cleanly from the base. Flower stalks can be cut back once blooms fade if desired. The rosette shape is natural and self-contained — do not cut into the live rosette.
