Haworthiopsis attenuata, the Zebra Cactus, is a small, slow-growing succulent forming tidy rosettes of stiff, pointed dark-green leaves banded with raised white tubercles that resemble zebra stripes. Native to South Africa, it is not a true cactus but a hardy, undemanding succulent ideal for tabletops, windowsills and small pots. Tolerant of lower light than many succulents, it suits indoor culture and offsets readily to form clumps. Mature plants send up a tall, slender stalk of small white tubular flowers. Compact, attractive and forgiving, it is one of the best beginner succulents for Indian homes.

Frequently asked questions

How often should I water a Zebra Cactus?
Water when the soil has dried out, about every 10-14 days in warm weather and much less in winter. Avoid letting water sit in the rosette.
How much light does it need?
It thrives in bright, indirect light and tolerates lower light than most succulents. A little morning sun is fine; harsh midday sun can scorch leaves.
Is the Zebra Cactus safe for pets?
Yes, Haworthiopsis attenuata is non-toxic to cats, dogs and humans, making it a safe choice for any home.
How do I propagate it?
Separate the offsets, or pups, that form at the base with some roots and pot them up, or root healthy leaf cuttings in dry succulent mix.
When should I repot it?
Repot every 2-3 years or once offsets crowd the pot, using a gritty, well-draining mix in spring.
Why are the leaves turning brown or red?
Reddish or brown tints often mean too much direct sun or stress. Move it to brighter indirect light and check watering.
Why are the leaves soft or yellow?
Soft, yellowing leaves usually indicate overwatering or poor drainage. Let the soil dry fully and use a sharply draining mix.
Can it grow indoors?
Yes, it is one of the best succulents for indoor growing, thriving on bright windowsills and desks with minimal care.
Does it flower?
Mature plants send up a thin, tall stalk bearing small white tubular flowers, usually in spring or summer.
What fertilizer should I use?
Feed lightly with a diluted cactus or balanced fertilizer once or twice during the growing season; it needs very little.
