Common Name - Haworthia attenuata 'Zebra'
Scientific Name - Haworthia attenuata 'Zebra'
Description
The Zebra haworthia is also named Zebra cactus, although it's a succulent and not Cacti. It's common named is derived from the horizontal Zebra looking stripes. These differ slightly between two very similar species (H. Fasciata - H. Attenuata). Native to South Africa, these clump forming succulent plants have similarities with the Aloe plant and they're related with the same sub-family. There are also sub-species grown. In their natural habitat (sub-tropical) they receive plenty of sun and periods without rainfall. Their succulent nature enables them to store water within the thick leaves when there's no frequent rainfall.

Haworthia attenuata 'Zebra' Plant Care and Instruction
65°F/18°C - 80°F/26°C temperatures are very good and not much below 50°F/10°C. Display this plant anywhere it can receive plenty of suns or bright light. South-facing windows will provide the most sun, however, east or west provide direct sun part of the day that I find more suitable. During the growing season from April - September water the plant thoroughly and then water when the soil becomes dry to the touch (not bone dry though). Winter is a tricky time for these plants although they are a tough species. Many growers will overwater then alongside cold temperatures or drafts the plant can become very sick, or even die. The leaves are storage organs, so water much less during the winter and allow the topsoil to dry out. Use a cactus potting mix that drains wells and provides plenty of air to the small roots. If making your own mix or buying another type, use part potting soil, part perlite, and part sand. From April - Sept you can feed them with a diluted liquid fertilizer once every month. Do not feed during winter.
