I don't think they can take full sun in hot weather. I'm in zone 6 with too much water this year. I keep all my sheltered in the shade. They take on a more redish color when stressed.

Hello CraftyRascal, that is the usual protective measure Haworthias do when the conditions are too hot and dry. It goes somewhat dormant, so it is not doing much at all. It closes down its rosette, and waits it out when cooler conditions returns. I have learned now to position them in the shadiest side of my garden, still with bright light, but in shade, since they cannot take our intense sun and heat.

When that happens to my Haworthias, I just let it do so, I still water, at least once a week, just enough to keep the soil damp, so the roots does not go dried out. It will just stay dormant. Just got to be patient. It is drought tolerant, but not that heat tolerant. If forecasts even calls for triple digits, then I may go twice a week watering, to help the roots cope from excessive dry heat here.

Your plant looks okay, as long as there is no undue off colored leaves, or rotting at the center, then it is okay. If you do see dried out outer leaves, just remove them, those will be older leaves.

I do not know where you are located, over here, we are feeling Fall temperature cool downs, so my Haworthias are waking up from their summer time slumber.

Everyone thank you so very kindly! 🤗
You are a great group - ur expertise and willingness to share it is very appreciated! 🙏🏻

BTW... I am in CA zone 9. Triple digit Summer temps. It is cooling down here too- even chilly at night. I moved both of the small haworthias you saw in the picture. I put one into a larger arrangement where he will be shaded and will have more soil so it hopefully won't dry out too quickly and I planted his mate in the ground... it's not the shadiest spot - but it is shaded with some direct sun for a few hours each day. They both already seem to be a bit happier... they aren't cinched so tightly! Thank u again!!!
3rd pic is of one I recently picked up. He's looking awesome!!! 😊 now hopefully I can keep him that way 😉

BTW, I love that last pot. Is it cast iron?

It is an interesting looking pot and so is the basket but it would be problem getting back into it latter.

I have had a happy little zebra plant for a year and a half and all of a sudden it just fell over. It is still green but the leaves come off easily and it just falls apart. Is this root rot? Can I save it?

Looks like was put into a dark place. Don't water it and when you do, water in a try under the pot and then remove after about a hour. You want the soil to be very dry between watering and don't want to get the top part wet to make any roots present to draw and grow to the moist part. Doesn't look to me like crown rot but plant damage. Best I can do with picture present. Hope it helps.

Hello bookishgardener, it still has potential for recovery. It looks like that soil is the initial soil it got, with more peat so it makes the media too dense, eventually suffocating the roots. This would be a good time to change it to a grittier cacti mix, keep it in same container for now after changing the media, no direct sun, just bright light and keep it warm. Don't water right away. It takes awhile for the plant to grow new roots and acclimate to the changes. Typically I like doing the repot in Spring, but your plant is keeling over, so got to do immediate remedial measures.

I do not know your location, ideally if your temps still warm and overnights not getting below 50F, then it can still enjoy being outdoors, but otherwise, if your weather is not conducive, then position in the bright light area you have indoors.
