Haworthia retusa variegata is an attractive succulent with rosette-shaped leaves. Here's how to care for it:

1. Light: Place your Haworthia retusa variegata in a bright location, but away from direct sunlight. Bright, indirect light is ideal. It can also tolerate low light conditions, but its growth will be slower in such conditions.

2. Temperature: Maintain a constant room temperature between 18°C and 24°C (64°F and 75°F). Avoid cold drafts and significant temperature fluctuations. Haworthia retusa variegata can tolerate cooler temperatures in winter.

3. Watering: Haworthias are succulents, which means they prefer spaced watering periods. Allow the soil to dry out almost completely between waterings, then water thoroughly, ensuring that water drains out of the pot's drainage holes. Reduce watering in winter when the plant enters dormancy.

4. Soil: Use a cactus potting mix with sand or perlite to ensure good drainage. Make sure the pot has drainage holes to prevent water stagnation.

5. Fertilization: Fertilize Haworthia retusa variegata with a low-nitrogen succulent fertilizer about once a month in spring and summer. Do not fertilize in winter when the plant is dormant.

6. Repotting: You won't need to repot frequently, but if the plant becomes too root-bound in its pot, repot it in spring into a slightly larger pot.

7. Common problems: Watch for signs of root rot, which can occur due to excess moisture or overwatering. Ensure the pot has good aeration to prevent water stagnation.
