fairy washboard succulent Haworthia limifolia – Fairy Washboard – Sprouts of BristolThe ridged leaves of this succulent give it the common name 'Fairy Washboard', and you can see why the texture of the leaves does look like an old fashioned washboard in miniature, and you can totally imagine Tinkerbell scrubbing her clothes on it. This plant can also put out a tall flower spike in summer, and clone itself in 'pups' branching from the base of the plant, so that's definitely something to keep an eye out for. Keep this easygoing

The ridged leaves of this succulent give it the common name 'Fairy Washboard', and you can see why - the texture of the leaves does look like an old-fashioned washboard in miniature, and you can totally imagine Tinkerbell scrubbing her clothes on it. This plant can also put out a tall flower spike in summer, and clone itself in 'pups' branching from the base of the plant, so that's definitely something to keep an eye out for. Keep this easygoing succulent satisfied with plenty of light and not too much water, and who knows, maybe you'll have tiny magical creatures doing laundry on your windowledge?

Scientific Name
Haworthiopsis limifolia (Plant that looks like Haworth's genus, with file-like leaves)

Synonyms: Haworthia limifolia

This plant was reclassified from the Haworthia genus to Haworthiopsis following genetic analysis in the early 2010s

Synonyms
Haworthia limifolia var. ubomboensis, Haworthia limifolia var. striata (specific varieties within the species).

Common Name(s)
Fairy Washboard, File-Leaved Haworthia

Origin
This plant is native to subtropical Africa, notably arid scrubland in Mozambique, Eswatini and the Northern Provinces and KwaZulu-Natal in South Africa.

Light
Haworthiopsis plants are happy in the brightest light you can offer indoors; a south- or west-facing window should give it enough direct sun.

Water
Let all of the soil dry out between waters; this plant is used to arid areas and will rot in soggy soil.

Humidity
Your Haworthia is used to arid air so don't keep it anywhere damp or humid.

Soil
A soil mix which drains really well will be your succulent's best friend; mix in sand and grit or look out for a soil mix designed for cacti and succulents. Repot only when its roots have totally filled the pot; succulents do well when rootbound.

Food
Feed every couple of months in summer, and every three months in winter. A feed designed for cacti/succulents will work best, or a diluted general houseplant feed.

Temperature
Your Haworthia likes summer temperatures of 18-25°C, but will prefer to be slightly cooler in winter. Make sure it does not get colder than 10°C.

Pet-safe
Yes, but too much nibbling won't be good for pets, small humans or the plant!

Sprouts Top Tips
Haworthias propagate by putting out tiny pups from their roots to the side of the main plant. You can propagate by carefully separating these, once they have at least four leaves and some roots of their own, and placing them in their own little pot.

Permission to Help My Child Find Joy
Format: Hardcover
As a parent starting the college search process, I've really come to appreciate Jeff's insights in his previous books, podcast and newsletter. So pleased to finally have this book at my disposal, and less than a month in, it's already dog-eared and marked up! Like most parents out there, I'm fighting my own internal inertia to align my child's accomplishments against the "metrics" (real or imagined) of admission, and gravitating towards the big names. If you are in that stage, I'll say from personal experience that now is a great time to pick up this book. It's a quick read (for someone who's not a "reader"), and it plants the right questions and data in your head to open your perspective. Its funny, every good parent I know just wants their kid to be happy, to find their joy in life. When it comes down to it, our only equating of big name to their happiness comes a derivation that success brings happiness, and big school brings success. As Jeff suggests, this book doesn't say DON'T seek the big name... It just gives permission to look more broadly, that the same success, and perhaps even greater happiness, can be found elsewhere. Now we just need need to make sure our kids see that too, and they are empowered to seek their joy with our full support. There is still data in here that confirms name schools do convey certain advantages. Whether those advantages align with a child's success and happiness is the question we can chase in this process. I, for one, really appreciate Jeff's efforts to make the case for the broader search and taking the time to do it with excellent, fresh analysis of the data in hand. Maybe this book and others generate the momentum to continuing these unique data streams to break the US News/Naviance overload of the process. Good luck to everyone in a similar boat, and I hope you find this as useful a reference as I did.

Works well
Format: Hardcover
I learned a lot about current college selection process. I still recommend urging your kids to apply for stretch colleges. Don't limit to safe schools. But this book helped me understand the nature of current college student selection process, i feel less crazy re contradictory results.
