How to prune haworthiopsis viscosa

Any time, when dead growth or overcrowding is noticed. Peel dried lower leaves away from the stem. Separate basal offsets with their roots during repotting to propagate or reduce congestion.

Rarely — only for dead-leaf removal or offset division. Haworthiopsis viscosa (formerly Haworthia viscosa) needs very little pruning. Its stacked, three-ranked leaves form a naturally upright column. Simply remove dead or browning lower leaves by peeling them away. If offsets appear at the base and crowd the pot, separate them during repotting. No shaping is needed.
