New Succulent help
So recently I have gotten some Haworthias and Euphorbias, but I've never delt with Old World succulents besides Gasteria and Haemanthus. My question is, when is the growing season for Euphorbias and Haworthias? Should I keep them under lights now or put them in the dark to go dormant with my cacti?

Euphorbias and Haworthias are on different sides of the spectrum when it comes to care
Most Euphorbias are summer growers similar to cacti, some just grow when warm, and a few are winter growers.
The simple advice would be to treat them like cacti.
Haworthias are winter growers, and grow the most during the fall and spring.
You can grow them similar to Gasteria and Haemanthus.
There are many Haworthia growers in the Northern States that have good success, some use lights, some natural light.
Keep them above 40 degrees.
