14. CULTIVATION
• H. reinwardtii requires very well-drained soil and
some exposure to sun. It does not tolerate prolonged
exposure to temperatures below 10 °C (50 °F), so in
temperate regions it must be grown under glass with
heat
• As with all succulents, the most dangerous situation
is too much water—they should never be allowed to
sit in water under any circumstances.
• It is a good houseplant
• In cultivation it needs more sunny position to show
its beauty.

15. • Growth rate: Haworthia reinwardtii are
relatively fast-growing plants
• Haworthias are best planted in a shaded
and airy part of the greenhouse, and not
too close to the glass roof or sides of the
house as the plants can overheat during
hot spells.
• Haworthia are easily propagated by the
removal of offshoots in spring or summer.
They can also be grown from seed.

16. OPUNTIA MICRODASYS

17. INTRODUCTION
• species of cactus native and endemic
to central and northern Mexico.
• This plant has the appearance of a
shrub, and spreads out to cover
between 2-5 feet of ground as a mature
plant
• Named for its visual appearance, the
Bunny Ear Cactus, also called the
Polka-Dot Cactus

18. DESCRIPTION
• This cacti has no central stem or
leaves.
• Newest segments grow in as a red
color, and mature to dark green as
they grow.
• Flowers will always sprout from the
terminal ends of segment pads.
• Max Growth (approx):Height 12 -
18in/30.5 - 45.5cm.

20. CULTIVATION
• Temperature:This cactus enjoys temperatures ranging from 70-100°F
(21-37°C), but demands cooler temperatures during the winter months.
• Light:Demands full light growing for most of the year, except during
the winter cycle. For the plant's health, light should be reduced to
partial sun during this time.
• Watering:The Polka-dot Cactus is a desert species. It should be given
water on a regular basis. During the winter cycle, the cactus should not
be watered at all, with watering to resume in the early spring.
• Soil:Like most cacti, this specimen demands sandy soil-bases that
drain easily.
• Propagation:Any fully grown pad from this cactus may be broken off
cleanly in the early summer and re-potted for propagation purposes.
Cuttings work best when grouped in threes or more, and should be
buried an inch deep in the soil. Remember to water regularly
