I think this plant looks healthy. As Rina pointed out, the parts of the leaves that are near the soil can be discolored, but this doesn't mean it is damaged.

Once you get it in better soil that drains quickly and dries out, and your plant will be very happy!

I agree it doesn't look as bad as one might think, just discolored.

Along w/ the excellent advice above, I'd take some cinnamon (the ordinary spice used for baking) w/ a Q-tip or small DRY paint brush & dab it on the discolored areas, especially at the base of the plant. It's a natural anti-fungal & will help prevent rot in any areas that might look vulnerable. Then pick the plant up, shake off the excess & pot it up DRY, continuing as above.

Haworthias are known to lose their roots from time to time, so this is a known vulnerability they have. Given that, I sometimes sprinkle a bit of cinnamon on the roots too, after I've trimmed off the dry, brittle, crunchy bits.

Especially important about Haworthias is the common advice given about watering succulents which is

"when in doubt, don't"

wait another couple of days at least. The logic is they can recover from underwatering, but much less so from overwatering.

Oh wow, you guys are the best! Thank you so so much for your time and help, I'm so very grateful right now I might cry. I'll definitely use all the tips and advice you gave me and will do everything for the best of my baby Harworthia :) Thank you again!

And I thank you for all who posted for you. It is very nice of you to say you appreciate the help.

Good luck with growing it, hope it all goes well. Do not hesitate to ask any questions you may have. And please post follow up photos. Is this the only succulent you have?

ps: do not worry about your English, it is excellent.

Hi there!

Sorry for my super late reply, I was quite busy these past few days. I did take the time to buy a bag of "potting mix for cactus and succulent plants" and a new ceramic pot (with drainage holes) for my Haworthia. I didn't watered it yet, I just used Imontestella's cinnamon trick and planted it in the new pot... It's been a few days already and the discolored parts still look the same. The Haworthia itself seems fine... I think?

Here are a few pictures of the baby in its new pot :) Did I do good?

I'd like to thank you all again for the quick and kind replies :) And Rina, I'm forever insecure about my English so thank you hehe!

"Get very grainy mix using grit, perlite, pumice, scoria, lava rock, turface " was an excellent advise. That soil you have is going to eventually kill your plant.

Yes, please do get whichever available to you and mix it at least 50:50 with your current soil.

Btw, what's that other plant? Looks like a Tillandsia to me, which to my understanding, most airplants don't need to be buried in soil at all (hence the common name).

Really??? D:
The soil I bought contains one or two of the list so I thought it would be okay (I couldn't find anything more accurate), I even asked the clerk that works here... Oh no, what should I do, maybe I'm just not a plant person :(

It may contain the gritty ingredients, but apparently not enough if you want your plants to survive and grow happily..

Here's my typical potting mix for example, at least 5 parts inorganics (I use volcanic rocks which is easily available where I live) with 1 part organics (rice husk, compost, etc.) (looks like it's all rocks).

Here is a similar Haworthia of mine in a 3.5" pot, which may be about the size of your pot. It currently has one inflorescence extending over 2.5' with 5 separate branches full of flowers.

Sorry again for the late reply. Thank you all a lot for the pictures! It helped me understand better. Unfortunately, I did go to a few flowers/garden shops in my city and I couldn't find anything like that. All I could find was the soil for cactus and succulents I'm using (picture below).

I was wondering if the soil mix you guys have is handmade? Like you found the ingredients separately in different shops and mix them together?

Good news is my Haworthia seems okay nevertheless... :)

About the other plant, I removed it and put it somewhere else since apparently it doesn't go in soil... I'm kinda mad right now because I did all this in a terrarium workshop and everything went wrong (from the glass container to burying an airplant in soil...) *sighs*

Thank God this community here is kind enough to help me, I'll never thank you all enough!

Oh, wow! look at that mix! It even has a haworthia on the bag!!

This soil is actually not a bad start. You will need to grab some perlite from Lowes or Home Depot, and do a half and half mix with what you have already. It will look like a lot of perlite, but it will work for now.

Good luck!

They sell mix like this locally as 'bonsai mix', but it's quite expensive! Mine is hand made and quite affordable. Components came from different shops. =)

Glad to hear your Haworthia is looking up.

I just wanted to ask is your air plant (tillandsia) buried beside him in the pot? Or just on top? Is that temporary?

i suggest hanging your air plant for more moving air. That's how they grow. Sun and air.. No need for soil. They need misting or soaking once a week or more but no soil. Mine is hanging with fishing wire on hooks on my window rails.. They grow well this way..

Good luck! Your haworthia is looking happier!

Whoa, your Tillandsias look lovely! It was temporary and I moved it on a dry surface so far but I think I'll hang it too so it can grow happily :) Thanks a lot for the wonderful idea!

As for my Haworthia, I took a picture just now. The bottom part is still brown-ish, but it's not squishy anymore, I think it's dry. It's been a while I haven't watered it. Do you think the brown-ish parts will go away? I haven't have time to change its soil yet, but I'll shop for perlite next week.

Old leaves will eventually dry up and fall off, it may take a while. That mix looks like it contains too much peat. If that is the bagged C-S mix you showed, personally I would not use it for succulents unless mixed with more than half perlite - and adding grit would be even better.
