Haworthiopsis fasciata (Zebra Haworthia)

Zebra Haworthia, Haworthia fasciata, Little Zebra Plant, Zebra Plant


Haworthiopsis fasciata (Zebra Haworthia) is a small rosette-forming succulent with stiff, fleshy, narrowly triangular, dark green leaves bearing attractive bands of white, warty tubercules on the outer surface. Tubular to bell-shaped white flowers are borne atop wiry stems, 16 in. tall (40 cm), in summer. Zebra Haworthia produces pups and offsets readily. Slow-growing, clump-forming, it is a delightful little succulent that makes an attractive small houseplant. Potted plants are often moved outdoors for the summer months, and in regions without frost, they are sometimes grown in the garden.

  • Grows up to 6 in. tall (15 cm) and 12 in. wide (30 cm).
  • Easily grown in cactus compost in full light with protection from hot sun. If the plant receives too much sunlight, it will turn a deep red showing it is stressed or turn white and dry up.
  • Provide low humidity and good ventilation. When in growth water moderately and apply a half-strength, low-nitrogen fertilizer once or twice. Keep almost dry in winter. Drought tolerant.
  • Propagation: sow seed at 70-75°F (21-24°C) in spring, separate offsets or take leaf cuttings in spring and summer.
  • Virtually disease free. Keep an eye out for mealybugs. Excessive watering can cause root rot.
  • Native to South Africa.
