Haworthia turgida is a delightful, compact succulent that’s is very easy to care for. It has plump, finger-like leaves with soft, pointed tips, forming loose rosettes that cluster together. The leaves have a soft, translucent green color with a smooth, sea-glass-like texture, accented by subtle veins and speckled patterns. These details give the plant an almost magical, crystal-like appearance.
One of the most fascinating features of Haworthia turgida is its ability to change color depending on the light. In bright, indirect sunlight, the green foliage takes on a beautiful reddish tint, adding a dynamic element to its appearance. When placed in shadier spots, the leaves return to their vibrant green hue. With its compact size—reaching only 3 to 4 inches across at maturity—this succulent is perfect for small spaces, terrariums, or as part of a larger arrangement with other drought-tolerant plants.
Haworthia turgida grows by producing offsets, which emerge at the base of the main rosettes. These offsets expand outward, forming a dense mat of closely packed plants. This growth habit makes it ideal for filling in spaces in containers or rock gardens.
Native to South Africa, Haworthia turgida thrives in arid environments and is naturally adapted to handle a variety of light conditions. This adaptability, combined with its striking looks, makes it an excellent choice for both beginners and seasoned plant enthusiasts.

Haworthia turgida thrives in bright, indirect light but can also adapt to partial shade. While it enjoys a bit of sun, too much direct sunlight can scorch its delicate leaves. If you want to encourage the reddish tones in its foliage, give it access to more intense, filtered light, but be ready to move it to a shadier spot if the leaves start to fade or scorch.
This succulent loves warm weather and thrives in temperatures between 60°F and 80°F. It doesn’t tolerate frost, so if you live in a cooler climate, make sure to bring it indoors during the winter months. While it’s not picky about humidity, it’s best suited for dry conditions, making it perfect for most indoor spaces.
To keep Haworthia turgida happy, plant it in a fast-draining soil mix, like one designed for succulents or cacti. A pot with drainage holes is essential to prevent the roots from sitting in water. Place it somewhere with good airflow to keep the plant healthy and reduce the risk of fungal issues.
Like most succulents, this plant prefers to dry out completely between waterings. Using the "soak and dry" method is the best approach: water thoroughly, allowing any excess to drain away, then wait until the soil is completely dry before watering again. Overwatering is one of the few ways to harm this resilient little plant, as it can lead to root rot or invite pests.
In the spring or early summer, a happy Haworthia turgida may produce delicate flower stalks with tiny, tubular white blooms. While these flowers are modest compared to the plant’s striking foliage, they’re a charming bonus for careful caretakers.
Haworthia turgida is non-toxic to pets and humans, making it a safe choice for households with curious animals or small children.

This book may be life-changing!
Format: Paperback
This book gives an explanation of Bowen's family system theory. The first half of the book is heavy on the theory, and then the second half gets into a little bit of how to use it in real life. It doesn't read like a self-help book, and Gilbert gets props for not using words like "codependence" and other jingoistic psychobabbly words. She's completely blunt and realistic, and it's all well-written.
The basic theory is this: in order to have good relationships, you have to be a well-differentiated, individual self. This means that you have solid boundaries, and you can relate to other people without "lending and borrowing" the self, as Gilbert says. Or in my view, you can be friends with people without trying to become them or making them become you. Ironically, in order to work on being a differentiated self you have to do the work through your relationships. None of us are perfectly differentiated, so we can all improve our basic selves and our relationships. The less differentiated we are, the more anxiety in our relationships (because we get all tense about them), and the more they take on the following five postures, which can relieve anxiety in the short term but only mess things up more over time: conflict, distancing, triangling, under/over-functioning, and cut-off.
Probably the most important aspect of this theory is that undifferentiation and relationship postures are carried on from generation to generation. So it's not really your parents fault, but yes you learned it all from them, and they learned it from their parents, etc etc. Also your own level of differentiation and the postures you adopt in relationships are based on how you interacted with your entire family of origin, not just your parents. Gilbert stresses that in order to move up the scale of differentiation and have better relationships, we have to go back to our original families and work on our relationships there. This doesn't involve changing anyone else or acting like a therapist- all it involves is changing ourselves, and the way we relate to everyone else.
There is a lot more, I'm only scratching the surface here.
I am so glad I found this book, because it is convincing and explains everything clearly. I am motivated to try to work on myself, and I have some idea of how to proceed. Other books I've read on the subject were too barfy and jargony, or they touched on the surface of the issues without getting to the heart of the matter.

Superb!
Format: Paperback
This was my first read on Bowen Family Systems. I was pleasantly surprised at the value and relevance of the ideas. For example, that all intimate relationships produce some anxiety in the partners! We cope with that anxiety using behaviors which may cause excessive 'distancing' from our loved one.(Something of a push-pull going on here). Another simple idea is that keeping some type, any type, of connection (ie. avoiding a 'cut off') with members of our family of origin (brother, sister, parent, child) is vital to having good relationships with our chosen loved ones. I don't recall ever hearing that idea before. Unlike many psychological revelations, this one is fairly simple to assess in our own lives - just look at your family of origin and see what kind of relationships you have! Gilbert is realistic that big changes in ourselves are not likely, but even incremental small steps forward can have profound impact on our relationships. Gilbert is a very good writer, with occasional (rare?) understated humor, which makes the material easy to access for anyone interested enough to try. Highly recommended.

Loaded with Information
Format: Paperback
Roberta Gilbert's overview of Murray Bowen's Family Systems Theory is a thorough introduction on how we build individuality through constant interaction. Although it takes a few chapters to understand the terminology ("anxiety", "differentiation", etc.), Gilbert pieces together the general concepts of Bowen's theory through analytical study and real world interpretation. The idea of triangulating and the importance of original family relationships stand out to me as the overwhelmingly important activities which many people don't think twice about. This isn't to discount other aspects of relationships- such as Overfunctioning/underfunctioning, conflict, distance, and cutoff- but these certainly stand out due to the attention Gilbert gives to them.
The one point that I disagree with (although Bowen would say I am in denial) is the urge to put yourself on a different emotional in any and all connections. I understand the benefits to this, but the idea that I would detach and remain coolly above all interactions between those closest to me strikes me as depressing. I feel differentiation and togetherness (which he calls "fusion") do not have to be mutually exclusive. This critique is grounded in pure opinion. My critique from an analytical perspective centers on her ignorance, which could even be called contempt, of love in a relationship. Her rudimentary overview of love in relationships places it neatly in a box next to cutoff, triangulating, and other day-to-day activities. I don't see myself as a hopeless romantic, but the unique attributes of love is noted near unanimously. Viktor Frankl, a noted psychologist himself, wrote about it in his excellent book "Man's Search for Meaning".
Nevertheless, I recommend Extraordinary Relationships for those who really want to dig into ways of improving themselves and the relationships around them. Although the concepts might be a little narrow, the general Bowen Family Theory idea should not be ignored.
