Meet the Zebra Haworthia, one of the most eye-catching and beginner-friendly succulents, loved for its bold zebra stripes! This compact beauty grows in neat rosettes under 15 cm tall, perfect for windowsills, desks, or any small space. The raised white nodules (tubercles) form striking horizontal bands on its dark green leaves, giving it that signature look.

Prefers bright, indirect light, too much sun can cause reddish leaves, while too little may make it stretch and lose shape.

Don’t water on a schedule, wait until the leaves look slightly deflated or curled, a sign the plant needs a drink.

Requires very little feed, fertilise lightly during spring and summer only.

When repotting (ideally in spring), gently separate offsets. Wait about a week before watering after potting to let them settle.

With its sculptural form and easy care, the Zebra Haworthia is a perfect little desert gem for any home.
