Zebra Haworthia (Haworthia fasciata): Striped Window Succulent

Overview

Zebra Haworthia (Haworthia fasciata) is a diminutive, rosette-forming succulent beloved for its dark green, triangular leaves boldly banded with raised, white tubercles in horizontal ridges—resembling zebra stripes. The leaf tips are translucent "windows" for light penetration. It offsets freely, forming dense clumps. Tiny, white, tubular flowers appear on thin spikes in summer. One of the easiest, most tolerant succulents for low-light interiors. Perfect for desks, terrariums, and beginner collections.
