ProRep Live plant. Haworthia margaritafera (Medium)
Temperature: 59–77°F (15–25°C )
Light: Indirect sunlight is ideal for Haworthia margaritafera. Direct sunlight can cause the leaves to burn, so it’s best to place this plant in a location with bright but filtered light.
Water: Water Haworthia margaritafera sparingly, allowing the soil to dry out completely between waterings. Overwatering can lead to root rot and other issues, so it’s important to err on the side of underwatering with this plant.
Care/Maintenance: Repotting should only be done when the plant has outgrown its current container, typically every 2-3 years.

ProRep Live plant. Harwothia margaritafera (Medium)
General Information: Haworthia margaritafera(Medium) is a slow-growing succulent that requires minimal care and attention. It suits indoor environments with consistent temperatures and bright, indirect light making it perfect for the desert terrarium.
Although similar in appearance to Aloes, Harworthia has shorter leaves and a more upright growth habit and attractively spotted leaves. They propagate by forming offshoots and can develop into large clumps.
Like most desert plants Harworthia needs bright lighting, and a free draining soil but this species will tolerate some shade. Although drought tolerant they prefer it if you water as the soil dries out, but before they are completely dry. Unless the terrarium is set up with a deep, bio-active substrate then plants is a dry terrarium are best kept in their pot, which is then disguised with substrate and decor.
This allows the plants to be watered as necessary without making the whole substrate too damp.
Apart from the aesthetic appeal of a planted terrarium there are some very real, tangible benefits for the animals. Living plants provide natural cover and climbing perches, shade, basking sites and maintain natural humidity. Just as live plants in an office can improve workers well-being, live plants in a terrarium will have the same effect for animals.
