Haworthia fasciata

The true zebra plant is a compact, hard-leaved succulent of coastal fynbos around Port Elizabeth and Uitenhage in the Eastern Cape, growing in acidic sand among low shrubs. Most plants sold under this name are actually Haworthiopsis attenuata, but both want the same thing: bright softened light, gritty acidic soil, cool humid nights and a soak-and-dry watering rhythm. It is one of the easiest succulents to keep indoors as long as the air moves and the pot dries between waterings.
