HORSE TEETH OVERVIEW Haworthia truncata is a miniature leaf succulent with flattened ends and shallow roots. The top surface gives the impression of having been cut or truncated, hence the name truncata. The leaves are covered in white or grey lines with varicosities. In nature the plants are often half-buried, with only the tips of the leaves visible above the soil. The truncated tip is translucent, allowing light to enter for photosynthesis. In this respect, the species resembles Lithops, Fenestraria, and Haworthia cymbiformis. This species produces small, white, tubular flowers on slim, upright stems. HOW TO PROPAGATE HORSE TEETH Seed Sow seeds during the cool, early summer months in a light, sandy, loam mixture in seed trays, 4 mm below the soil surface, cover with thin layer of coarse sand, mist on alternate days, place in sun. Division Plants will also grow from the roots if divided. Cuttings In autumn tear a turgid, healthy leaf from the mother plant, with a heel (stem from the mother plant). Take care not to damage the main body of the plant when removing a leaf. Place on a coarse sand mixture, rooting takes a few months. Can be easily propagated from leaves, simply remove cleanly from the mother plant, let callus for a few days until the wound has closed and place on soil or in water and wait for roots to develop. Roots usually grow first to seek out water, followed by new leaves. This may take anywhere from a week to a few months and there is no need to water propagating succulents as they will glean all the nutrition and moisture they require from their mother leaf, which will shrivel up over time. The original leaf may be gently removed once it has dried up and become crispy in texture, only remove if it comes away easily otherwise you risk damaging the baby plant.
