I rarely see any around here so ended up with a few for myself and family over the weekend. I’m not exactly sure on who can go with what or what to do with the blooms…
I know I should’ve asked the sellers, but it was 100F out and I wasn’t going to stay in the heat any longer than I had to at this point. They gave me some basic info (a bright windowsill, when they had been repotted and watered) but didn’t know if there was any other advice about them.
Thanks in advance!

It’s hard not to go overboard buying them because there’s so many hybrid variations!
Welcome to the darkside! In my experience owning everything remotely labeled as a succulent (haworthia, echeveria, euphorbia. cacti, caudiciforms, sedums, stonecrops, etc.) I found haworthias to be stupidly easy to care for. I almost never lose or kill a haworthia—knock on wood. You can really just forget about them and they will do fine. They may look really ugly without water, but most likely will bounce back!
Haws can tolerate a lot more conditions than soft succulents can and they dont stress out easily unless you leave them in extreme conditions like 100 degree weather in the sun or freezing temps.
If you are not sure if they need water yet, dont water them—wait another week. Thats the only tip you really need!
Only thing i feel like are easier are gasteria.
Welcome to the club went from zero to 20 n counting in only a month
The last one reminds me of Haworthia kotohime . What a great haul/starting point . They are awesome
HEY we must live in the same town because I saw those very plants last weekend. Send me a PM if you ever want to visit my Haworthia Harem!
The last photo is one of my favorite and pricey too in our country haha
