Product Details
Haworthia fasciata – Wide Zebra (also known as Zebra Haworthia or Zebra Plant), is a charming, compact succulent from the Asphodelaceae family, native to South Africa. This delightful little plant forms tight rosettes of thick, triangular, dark green leaves boldly striped with wide, raised white horizontal bands that resemble zebra stripes — giving it a striking, graphic look. The "wide zebra" variety features broader, more pronounced white markings compared to the narrower stripes of Haworthiopsis attenuata. It stays small (typically 3–6 inches tall and wide), making it ideal for windowsills, desks, terrariums, or grouped with other succulents for a mini desert display. It occasionally produces tall, slender flower spikes with tiny white blooms in summer, though it's primarily grown for its stunning foliage.
People love Haworthia fasciata Wide Zebra for its adorable, architectural beauty in a tiny package — those crisp white stripes on glossy green leaves create an instantly eye-catching, modern aesthetic that's perfect for minimalist or boho decor. It's one of the easiest succulents for beginners, extremely forgiving, thrives on neglect, fits almost anywhere (even low-light spots), and rarely outgrows its pot. Collectors adore the clean, sculptural form and subtle variations in stripe patterns, while its pet-safe nature (non-toxic) makes it a worry-free choice for homes with cats or dogs. It's the ultimate "cute but tough" succulent that adds personality without demanding much attention.
Caring Tips for Haworthia fasciata Wide Zebra
Light: Bright, indirect light is best for vibrant stripes and compact growth; a north- or east-facing window is ideal. It tolerates lower light but may stretch or lose color intensity; avoid harsh direct sun to prevent scorching.
Watering: Water thoroughly when the soil is completely dry (every 2–3 weeks, less in winter); it's very drought-tolerant. Overwatering causes rot — always let it dry out fully between waterings and use pots with drainage holes.
Soil & Pot: Use a fast-draining cactus/succulent mix (add extra perlite or sand if needed). Terracotta or shallow pots help prevent excess moisture.
Temperature & Humidity — Prefers 65–80°F (18–27°C); protect from frost and temperatures below 50°F. Low to average humidity is fine — no misting required.
Fertilizing: Feed sparingly with a diluted balanced or succulent fertilizer once or twice during spring/summer. Skip in fall/winter.
Pruning & Maintenance: Remove any dead or damaged outer leaves at the base. It pups (produces offsets) readily - separate them for propagation when they're about 1/3 the size of the mother plant.
Common Issues: Etoliation (stretching) from too little light; translucent or mushy leaves from overwatering; shriveled leaves from under watering (recoverable with proper hydration).
Note: Non-toxic to pets and humans, making it one of the safest houseplants.
With its bold zebra stripes and fuss-free personality, Haworthia fasciata Wide Zebra is the perfect petite succulent that brings big style and zero stress to your plant collection!
