Val,

As you've no doubt noticed, lots of Haworthias look similar, and they particularly look like one another when they're smaller. Expose it to a little more sun (nothing direct, just bright) and let it grow a little more. It could very well be Haworthia fasciata (genus name capitalized, species name not).

I see. I took three months to change the soil to some good soil so they were really hurting (I'm a beginner). There were three plants of this kind in the assortment I bought and the other two died and it contained 3 cacti in the pot too. The cacti never noticely grew but aren't in bad shape either. It was bad soil in a pot with no drain hole. I don't think I ever overwatered because I knew of the lack of drain hole but I may have underwatered in a drastic way... The roots were a disaster when I repotted. The ones for this plant here especially. I am hoping this soil will suit them well and they will start growing and being happy again. I used gritty mix for the soil but altered the recipe to less Turface and more grit. I have a top layer of half a inch of only grit, only to make the surface good looking and not have bark floating during watering. Will start fertilizing very lightly in a few weeks. Thinking to water every couple of week or every month. I don't know how often I should. The soil is obviously very well draining now with great aeration.

Watering every two weeks is enough. Everything else sounds good. Make sure you have good air circulation.

We've all lost lots of plants when we were beginners, but you sound like you have a good grasp on things. I'd suggest reading some posts here on various plants (find one that has a lot of postings on it) just as an FYI.

You're off to a good start, well, after those dead plants, that is, but I had 48 dead plants before I grew one successfully, so you didn't set a record.

cactusmcharris, yes when I started with plants it was pretty casual. I got a Shefflera elegantissima as a first plant. It looked so good. I knew nothing and ended up with a couple inches of water above the surface for a few weeks. It was a thin pot with drain holes inside a fancier-looking plastic pot with no drain holes. On top of that, we sprinkled plant food pellets in it a few times too. Now this is the technique I would probably use if I wanted to kill a plant as fast as possible!! But I was frustrated, started learning, tried to save the plant but it had already gotten the coup-de-grace and we eventually lost it after a couple months.

Now we have something like 30 plants, indoors and outdoors. Trying to maximize their environment for the Spring and still learning!

stupidlazydog, Wow I don't know how you found out that it could be a coarctata but the adult plant looks almost exactly like the (baby?) one that I have, when looking at pictures online. Thanks. If it grows I'll get the opportunity to identify it further.

Looks like it is dying...

The second picture is of all the cacti together.

Yeah, looks pretty bad. It really shouldn't even be the pot with the cacti, IMO. Has very different needs. The cacti all want very bright/strong light. The Haworthia does not. Active growing season for the Haworthia is generally fall through spring during which time it wants more water.

Oh well. I'll try to find another one but it won't grow much now is your thought? I have grow lights and gritty mix.

It may not survive. I'd pot it separately from the other plants.

Val, I agree with Paul, though not as positive in the prognosis. Succulents are mightily resilient and can come back from a lot of abuse, but perhaps prepare for its passing.

OT - I am wondering if you have time to look at [THIS JADE-SAVING THREAD[(https://www.houzz.com/discussions/advice-jade-repot-dsvw-vd~5538000?n=44). and offer some advice...I did, but your opinion is very valuable. I suggested do do some cutting - posted photos about 3 posts before last one. (Sorry, but my posts are so long - maybe you don't want to read it. I have difficulty to give just vague comments). TIA

Oh in my last post I meant if I got a new one, not trying to resurrect this one. Although I could try to resurrect but I don't know how. I have spaghnum peat moss but that keeps a lot of water. Anything else? I'll read the thread on saving Jades. Thanks.

Honestly, unless it was a truly rare plant, I'd say just get a new one considering how far gone that one appears to be.
