Know before you buy
This succulent thrives in bright, indirect light. While it can tolerate partial shade, consistent bright light helps maintain the plant's architectural shape and the vibrancy of its white horizontal stripes.
No, the Zebra Plant is not considered pet-safe. It is best kept on a high shelf or in a room inaccessible to curious pets to prevent ingestion.
As a succulent, it prefers a 'soak and dry' method. Allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings, and be careful not to let the plant sit in standing water, which can lead to root rot.
Use a well-draining cactus or succulent potting mix to ensure proper aeration for the roots. It is a slow grower, so it only requires a light application of balanced fertilizer once or twice during the spring and summer growing season.
The Haworthia fasciata has a slow growth rate, so it will comfortably remain in its 4-inch pot for an extended period. You likely won't need to repot it for at least a year or two.
