Zebra Haworthia | Haworthiopsis attenuata

Zebra Haworthia is one of the most instantly recognizable and beloved compact succulents in the world — a tight, upright rosette of dark green leaves dramatically striped with raised white tubercles that run in neat horizontal bands across each leaf, creating a bold zebra-like pattern that is as striking as it is beautiful. She is small, architectural, and endlessly fascinating to look at.

She is one of the most forgiving and adaptable succulents available — thriving in lower light conditions that would leave most succulents struggling, making her an ideal choice for indoor spaces, windowsills, and shaded spots. Zebra Haworthia is a perfect starter plant and a collector's staple — tough, characterful, and quietly magnificent in any space she inhabits.
