Haworthia truncata Green Rose - 3" Pot

Haworthia attenuata, popularly known as the Zebra Haworthia or Zebra Plant, is a small rosette-forming succulent native to South Africa. Its stiff, upright, dark green leaves are tapered to a point and marked with raised white bands that give it a striking zebra-like appearance. The rosettes stay compact, usually 10-15 cm across, making the plant perfect for small pots, desktops and bright windowsills.

It is one of the most beginner-friendly succulents for Indian homes, tolerating warm conditions and infrequent watering with ease. Grown indoors in bright indirect light or on a shaded balcony, it slowly produces offsets (pups) that can be separated to make new plants.

Unlike Aloe, Haworthia stays small and well-behaved, rarely outgrowing its pot, and is safe to keep around pets and children.

Growing tips

<p>In Indian summers (April-June), keep the plant in bright indirect light and shield it from direct afternoon sun, which can bleach or burn the leaves.</p><p>During the monsoon, ease off watering and ensure the pot drains freely to prevent root rot, the most common cause of failure. In winter, water sparingly and keep it in a warm, bright spot.</p><p>Use a terracotta pot with a drainage hole for best results, and let the soil dry out completely between waterings.</p>
