This is a plant that has gone through a lot with me. The main one in the first pic is around 7 years old, and due to health issues it was neglected for much of that time. Thankfully I'm doing somewhat better these days, so I'm trying to improve its care. Second pic is one that broke off from the main stem years ago, now with its own robust root system, and third is a more recent baby. I know it's a haworthia, but not what kind, so an ID would really help!
I do well with succulents that need high levels of light. Learned haworthias weren't one of those fairly recently, when trying to put them under the same grow lights as my other ones resulted in burned leafs and almost entirely going brown.
I don't know what's a good level of light for them though. They survived for years on natural light in a tiny bathroom window, even here in the UK. My new place has some big windows so I've put them in different windows around the house right now.
I do have a light meter so if there's a good lux/FC range I could try to meet that?
I repotted them recently into terracota pots, one of them I was doing at the same time as my other succulents so it has a ton more pumice than the other one. The others are mostly in coco coir. Which one is best?
What do they prefer for watering frequency? What are the signs of thirst like?
Do they do well with fertilizer? A specific NPK ratio?
