Haworthia fasciata (zebra plant), native to South Africa, forms an upright, slender rosette with tapering, incurved dark-green leaves covered with silvery white raised “pearls” that connect to form bands that give the impression of zebra stripes. Beautiful touch-friendly favorite that makes an excellent houseplant or windowsill plant. Haworthias are winter growers and are dormant in the hottest summer months. Zebra plant just might be our first choice for the self-confessed nervous black thumb in ones family. Among the best succulents for tolerating low light and virtually maintenance-free, this haworthia is plenty happy in bright, filtered light inside and bright shade outside.
