Haworthia Fasciata, Zebra Plant

Haworthia Fasciata
Common names: Zebra plant, Zebra cactus, Zebra Haworthia

The zebra plant is a relatively small plant. It grows in a rosette which can reach to around 5″ – 8” inches in height. Generally, the growing season begins in the spring through the fall and is considered one of the slower growing species. The green triangular leaves are clustered together giving the plant a “Zebra” effect.

Haworthiopsis Fasciata is a flowering plant producing white flowers usually during the spring.
Some plants also bloom during the summer months.
Well grown zebra plants produce inflorescence (long stems) during the flowering season.

These plants enjoy locations receiving a lot of bright indirect sunlight but no direct sun exposure. Too much sun can cause leaves to turn white. They do well in medium to high light. Therefore, when grown as a houseplant, it is generally advisable to keep them near east or south windows that receive loads of natural light.

Haworthia fasciata requires water in moderation.
During the summer, water the plant thoroughly, allowing the soil to dry out between watering sessions. Be careful to avoid overwatering and root rot.
