The Zebra Plant, also known as Haworthia fasciata, has large, thick, dark-green leaves that grow in a rosette pattern and can live up to 50 years. It is adorned with striking white horizontal stripes that resemble zebra stripes. 

The Zebra Haworthia has other common names such as Zebra succulent, little zebra plant, Zebra Haworthia, or Zebra cactus. And don't let those bold markings fool you - the inner side of each leaf is smooth as silk. 

The zebra Haworthia is a relatively slow-growing, small succulent, typically grows up to 8 inches tall and spreads to a similar width. 

The leaves are triangular in shape and have distinct horizontal white stripes that resemble zebra stripes.

These stripes are actually translucent windows that allow light to penetrate deeper into the leaf, aiding in photosynthesis.

The zebra plant flowers bloom during the spring with tubular white or pale pink flowers on long stalks.

These flowers have a sweet fragrance that attracts pollinators such as bees and butterflies. The zebra plant's unique striped leaves make it a popular choice for indoor houseplants.

When and How to Water Your Zebra Plant 

Like many drought-tolerant succulents, it stores water in its plump leaves and thrives best when kept on the dry side. In the spring and summer, water your Zebra Haworthia once every 7–10 days, only when the soil has completely dried out. Always make sure the potting mix dries thoroughly between waterings to avoid root rot.

In the winter dormant months, reduce watering significantly to once every 3–4 weeks or even less. Since the plant’s growth slows down, it needs very little moisture, and keeping the soil dry during this time helps prevent common winter issues like fungal infections and root decay.

Light Requirements - Where to Place Your Zebra Haworthia 

When growing indoors, place your Zebra Haworthia where it receives at least 4–6 hours of bright, indirect sunlight daily.

Ideally, place your plant in front of an east-facing window or just a few feet away from a bright south-facing window for healthy growth.

Insufficient indoor light can cause your zebra succulent to become leggy, pale, and lose its compact, spiny appearance.

When growing outdoors, make sure your Zebra Haworthia receives at least 4–6 hours of full sun to partial shade every day.

Outdoor plants love bright conditions but benefit from a little afternoon shade in hotter climates to prevent scorching. If they don't receive enough light, their stems may grow leggy and become paler, and their spines will shorten, so make your zebra Haworthia happy and give it plenty of light. 

Optimal Soil & Fertilizer Needs 

The Zebra plants prefer sandy, well-drained soil, as excess moisture can promote root and stem rot. Planet Desert specializes in succulents and has specialized succulent potting soil that includes an organic substrate with mycorrhizae to help with the growth of a healthy root system to help your Zebra succulent plant thrive. 

Fertilize your zebra plant once a year in spring with NPK fertilizer with an equal ratio of 5-10-5. Water your zebra plant thoroughly after fertilizing to help the nutrients penetrate the soil and promote healthy growth. Avoid over-fertilizing, as this can cause damage to the plant's roots.

Native to South African shrublands, this zebra plant is one of several in the Haworthiopsis family and is often confused with Haworthia attenuata plants for their similar appearance to Haworthia fasciata. But trust us when we say that nothing compares to the unique beauty of the popular and beloved Zebra Plant!

Hardiness Zones & More 

Always keep your plant away from cold, drafty windows, air vents, or chilly indoor areas to avoid stress. When growing indoors as a houseplant, it prefers warm temperatures between 65°F and 80°F, and prefers humidity levels around 50–60%. If your home is very dry, you can lightly mist the plant or use a nearby humidifier to maintain ideal humidity.

In the United States, this is mostly an indoor plant, but if you live in southern Florida or Hawaii, then you can cultivate it outdoors in USDA zones 10-11.

However, these succulents are not frost-tolerant—if you live outside of these zones, grow them in containers so you can easily move them indoors during the colder months to protect them from freezing damage.

Zebra plants prefer high humidity levels, ideally between 50-60%. To increase humidity, you can mist the plant regularly or place a humidifier nearby.

Wildlife - Zebra Plant Attracts the Following Friendly Pollinators

The zebra plant attracts a variety of friendly pollinators such as bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds. Its vibrant flowers and nectar-rich blooms make it a popular choice for gardeners looking to attract wildlife to their outdoor spaces.

Bees
Hummingbirds
Lady Bugs
Multi Pollinators
Other Birds

According to ASPCA, the zebra plant is non-toxic to both humans and pets. This makes it a safe and popular choice for indoor plant enthusiasts looking to add some greenery to their homes without worrying about potential harm to their furry friends.

How to Propagate Your Zebra Haworthia Plant

Haworthia fasciata can be propagated through offsets or leaf cuttings. Offsets, also known as "pups," are small plantlets that grow from the base of the mother plant. These can be carefully separated and planted in their own pots. Leaf cuttings can also be taken by removing a healthy leaf from the plant, allowing it to dry and callus for a few days, and then placing it in well-draining soil.

Key Takeaways

  1. Zebra Haworthia is known for its bold white striping and textured leaves, which resemble zebra patterns, making it one of the most eye-catching mini succulents for containers or desks.
  2. This drought-tolerant plant stores water in its thick leaves, requiring minimal watering and making it incredibly low-maintenance.
  3. Unlike many succulents, Zebra Haworthia remains compact and rarely outgrows its pot, making it perfect for small-space gardening or terrariums.
  4. It’s non-toxic to cats and dogs, making it a pet-friendly choice for succulent lovers with furry companions at home.
  5. It thrives in low-light conditions and is one of the best succulents for indoor spaces, making it ideal for offices, windowsills, and small apartments.

The Bottom Line

Overall, the Zebra Haworthia (Haworthiopsis fasciata) is a stunning succulent that captivates with its unique zebra-like stripes and compact size. It is a popular choice for indoor gardening and succulent arrangements due to its striking appearance. This plant also thrives in rock gardens, adding a touch of natural beauty to any landscape. As for care, it prefers bright, indirect light, well-draining soil, and sparing watering to prevent root rot. With its low-maintenance nature and eye-catching features, the Zebra Haworthia is a fantastic addition to any plant lover's collection.

Full Moisturization of the face is lacking
Color: Lifting (Jericho Rose)
I would give it a 5 based on the appearance after the mask is removed your skin is glassy but the moisture level is lacking. It leaves behind an oily residue and my face didn’t feel hydrated. The search continues.

“The fragments of a life”…
A formidable movie, in the stricter sense of the word. In a looser sense, it has helped shape the way that I’ve seen the world, ‘lo these past six decades. I saw this movie when it first came out, in 1963, at one of my favorite art theaters in Pittsburgh. Like most of us at the time, we’d only viewed rather straightforward movies of “good and evil,” Westerners, and the like. Predictable endings. The director of “8 ½,” Federico Fellini, offered something radically different, a foreshadowing of the stream-of-consciousness technique in literature, how the fragments of one’s life get all jumbled up in the brain. And he provided some takeaways that have long been with me. I was 16 at the time and took a date who was 15. In re-watching it now, if I thought it somewhat baffling at 16, I wonder what my date thought about the portrayal of the women in the movie, who are “fragments” in the life of the movie director, Guido Anselmi, excellently played by Marcello Mastroianni. There is his wife, Luisa, wonderfully played by Anouk Aimée, who was the motive force behind the re-watching of it now. There is the “virginal” Claudia Cardinale, usually in white (I had not realized that she was originally Tunisian). Sandra Milo plays Guido’s flighty bimbo of a mistress. And so many others: The airline stewardess; the caring mom who wraps the infant Guido in a blanket; the first stripper; the insightful and nagging friend of his wife… “Upstairs when you are 40.” That was one of the big takeaways. Anselmi is having this male fantasy about his “harem,” all those fragmented women who are there to serve him and do so in complete harmony when he realizes that the “stripper” is now 40 and must go upstairs, the metaphor for being placed on the “discard pile” for being too old. He gets out his bull whip even, to drive her up the stairs. Even at 16, when 40 is more than twice your life away, it did seem a bit harsh, particularly when the same rule does not apply to the guy with the bull whip. It was also my first viewing of the prototype of those pompous pedantic critics of movies or literature who toss around expressions like “impoverished poetic imagination,” “overabundant symbols,” and, of course, “self-indulgent.” I was in parochial high school at the time, so the scenes in which the priests were chasing down the young student Guido in order to shame and humiliate him because he found sexual imagery to be of interest, imagine that, strongly resonated. It was also the era that the Catholic Church published “The Index of Forbidden Books,” (which now seems to have been taken over by the woke crowd of today), and thus the scene in which Anselmi has to pay homage to the Cardinal also resonated. Anouk Aimée is absolutely mesmerizing. She has been a “fragment” of my own life, ever since I viewed “A Man and a Woman” in the ’60’s. Again, she played opposite the equally formidable Jean-Louis Trintignant, of “Z,” “Three Colors, Red,” and so much else, fame. Far more relevantly, the two of them recently played in “The Best Years of Our Lives,” again directed by Claude Lelouch. Aimée is now a young 90. In her role as Anselmi’s wife, Luisa, she wore those glasses that connotated a greater thoughtfulness than him. I searched that ever-so-youthful face watching for the subtle expressions of later movies. It struck to the core. Luisa is utterly fed up with Guido’s philandering and constant lies. And Guido is suffering from “director’s block” in trying to finish his movie, with what sort of message? Luisa fires off THE classic line that I have long remembered: “But what can you say to strangers when you can’t tell the truth to the one closest to you…”. The only problem is that I’ve felt that line was said in Ingmar Bergman’s “Scenes from a Marriage.” And maybe that line was ALSO said in Bergman’s movie, which means one more movie I need to watch to find out. As I said earlier, things can tend to get jumbled up in the brain, even more so as one ages. Fellini would understand, maybe Aimée would also. 5-stars, plus for Fellini’s classic, formidable film.

One of the greatest in SPECTACULAR DVD package
This new Criterion Collection edition of *8 1/2* is one of the best DVD "special edition" sets I've come across. The Movie: Fellini's breakthrough film is a movie about itself. It is archetypal in the Fellini canon because it both settles old scores and announces a new cinema. The film's hero is an Italian filmaker (Mastroianni as "Guido" a quasi-alter ego for the director) who has just had his first major hit (=La Dolce Vita). He is not resting on his laurels, however. He is confronted with the necessity of the next movie. This necessity is both personal to the director and apparently contractual: the producer is forever hovering... To Guido, it is an inner necessity, an unrest, a creative suffocation, objectified in the opening sequence of the movie where Guido is seen/not seen by the camera, trapped inside a tiny car that is itself trapped in a traffic jam that stretches endlessly beyond available light as the car fills with toxic gas. We see the as yet unidentified hero in silhouette from behind. We see his hands and feet from outside the car, through the window as he desparately tries to escape. Then, he mysteriously escapes through the car's roof like a new bird escaping its shell and is carried off into the clouds, etc. The trouble is, this is a wish fulfillment dream. In "real" life, Guido is about to make a movie, and he has no idea what it's going to be about, or what to do with all the actors and extras, and the giant launching pad for some kind of space-ship that is the only thing even close to a concrete idea for the projected picture. The film is not, however, a perfect autobiographical fit. For one thing, Fellini gets to finish his movie and Guido, evidently, does not. But, that said, the movie is a virtual mirror of itself, which was a very hard thing to pull off in 1962, before the concept of "virtual" was annexed by the codifiers of computer jargon, and *8 1/2* is nothing if not a virtuoso performance. Fellini's breakthrough is the film we watch. But in the film, the hero finds the resolution to his anguish, not in finding the project - that is, in making what would have been the film-about-itself within the film-about-itself within the film-about-itself that we are, finally, watching - but in letting go of the project, in surrendering to the impossibility of finding it or making it. Precisely *on the other side of his own fantasy-suicide*, at the moment when he apparently gives in to despair, he discovers the circle of life and becomes able to join into the procession of lives into which his own life is finally intertwined. So, this is an essential film. And it is a film so rich in texture that a person could watch the movie a hundred times and find new things to wonder at, and discover new connections between the One and the Many - Fellini's personal/existential problem. The DVD: First disc contains a sparkling transfer of the movie that restores a luster to the angular lights and shadows in Fellini's final black & white movie. Audio commentary by a couple of scholars and Fellini's former close accomplice Gideon Bachman. Second disc contains Fellini's famous "Director's Notebook" of 1968(-9), an hour-long movie that was originally made for television, as well as another documentary about composer Nino Rota, and various interviews, including one with the ever-fiesty Lina Wertmueller who was Fellini's Asst. Director on *8 1/2*. The package also comes with a really interesting little booklet with lots of information and a thoughtful mini-essay. Overall a great package that I'll not regret buying.
