Haworthiopsis attenuata aka Zebra Plant

If you're looking for a plant that offers a moderate level of challenge, Zebra Plant is a great choice to test your gardening skills.

Zebra Plant does best in dry soil and should only be watered sparingly.

To keep your Zebra Plant healthy, it's important to use a potting soil that won't retain too much moisture. A soil that drains well and contains perlite or vermiculite for drainage and some organic matter for nutrition is ideal. Adding a few handfuls of perlite to regular cactus soil from the store is an easy way to create this type of soil mix.

To ensure optimal growth, the Zebra Plant prefers bright indirect light for 6-8 hours each day. Insufficient light can result in slow growth and leaf drop, so it's important to find a well-lit location for this plant. Place it near a window, within a distance of 1 meter (3 feet), to enhance its potential for thriving.

Zebra Plant is not known to cause harm to humans or pets.

Zebra Plant plants thrive in dry environments, however, if you choose to provide extra humidity or mist your plant, the lingering water on the leaves can create an ideal environment for certain types of harmful fungi.

The Zebra Plant is characterized by its slow growth and doesn't need fertilization in addition to its potting soil. By renewing the soil in its pot once a year, it should have enough nutrition. Remember, plants get their energy from sunlight, not from any fertilizers.

Zebra Plant’s native range is Southern Africa.

Yes, if you provide your Zebra Plant with adequate sunlight and water, you can expect it to bloom.
