Haworthia mantelii

Haworthia x mantelii is a garden hybrid named by Uitewaal, generally given as a cross involving the hard-leaved zebra-plant group (Haworthiopsis attenuata) with a soft-leaved parent; it has no wild range. It is tough and clustering and grows well under zebra-plant conditions: bright softened light, cool nights, gritty soil and a soak-and-dry rhythm.
