Haworthiopsis reinwardtii aka Zebra Cactus

Haworthiopsis reinwardtii, formerly known as Haworthia reinwardtii, is a succulent flowering plant that belongs to the family Asphodelaceae. Native to the Eastern Cape Province of South Africa, it is widely cultivated as an ornamental species. These tiny succulents form a mat of rosettes with lance-shaped olive-green leaves adorned with white spots. During the dry season, their succulent leaves store water due to their adaptation to harsh, dry climates. They also employ a unique form of photosynthesis, only exchanging gases at night, which aids in water retention. In the spring, H. reinwardtii produces small tubular pinkish-white flowers that appear in lax racemes on stems that can reach up to 30cm in length. Despite their origins in Southern Africa, these plants have found homes in households worldwide.
