Haworthiopsis attenuata | Zebra Plant Succulent | 10cm Pot

The Zebra Plant (Haworthiopsis attenuata, formerly Haworthia attenuata) is a popular, slow-growing succulent native to South Africa’s Eastern Cape. Prized for its compact rosette formation, it features fleshy, pointed dark green leaves accented with raised, bright white horizontal bumps (tubercles) resembling zebra stripes. Highly adaptable and low-maintenance, it makes an eye-catching collector piece for homes and office spaces.

Growing Conditions
Light: Thrives in bright indirect light or indoor sun. Protect from harsh, direct midday sunlight to prevent leaf scorching.

Water: Highly drought-tolerant. Allow the soil mix to dry out completely between waterings. Reduce watering significantly during the winter months.

Soil: Requires a fast-draining succulent or cactus soil mix mixed with perlite or pumice to prevent root rot.

Temperature and Climate: Suitable for warm South African climates. Keep indoors or in sheltered areas protected from heavy frost and rain.

Growth Habit: Clumping, rosette-forming succulent.

Mature Size: Reaches approximately 10–15 cm in height and width.

Maintenance
Pruning: Remove dead or outer yellowing leaves at the base as needed.

Repotting: Repot every 2–3 years using fresh well-draining soil mix into a pot with adequate drainage holes.

Feeding: Feed sparingly with a diluted, balanced succulent fertilizer during the active growing season (spring and summer).

Best Uses
