How to take care of Haworthia fasciata "Zebra Plant"

[@michellelight6344]

I bought one of these 5 years ago at an Ikea and to this day it has grown so many pups that I now have 12 of them, including the two that started in the original pot.

Zebra plant was my ‘gateway’ plant to my current succulent addiction! 😝

[@mairwaugus5203]

Succulent Addiction? Join S.A.? It's a 12 step program? Ummm no, I don't know what what you're talking about😜

[@brittanyhastie950]

I did not know about the stripes telling the two plants apart, thank you for sharing!

[@susanwaggoner1491]

This a really clear and helpful. I'm not only new to succulents, I'm new to plans in general. I bought a zebra like this last year and set it outside this summer, thinking it would love a little sun. Fortunately I didn't kill it -- brought it inside because a few leaves looked sunburned -- had no idea until I saw this video that it prefers bright shade. Also, the most frustrating thing to me about learning about succulents is that most sites don't say if their watering guidelines are for indoors or outdoors, are give you a sense of the climate they're growing these things in. Big difference between s.w. U.S. and mid-Wisconsin where I am! You did note these things, so now I feel competent to carry on., Thanks!

[@Succulentsandsunshine]

Very true about the watering. That's why I stress the soak and dry method so much. There is no universal watering schedule that works for everyone. Indoor, outdoor, humid climate, dry climate, all have a huge impact on how often succulents need water. Here's some more tips if you're interested: kzbin.info/www/bejne/b17coWCAhb14hK8 kzbin.info/www/bejne/eV7dmpeDad5nqdU

Haworthia was my first! Now I'm addicted to succulents. Have about 40!

[@blueheron110]

I have a Haworthia without stripes! But it fits the description in your video in every other way. It actually found me when I moved to the River Valley after living in the mountains for over 40 years. I am usually very good with plants but because of the excessive heat in the summer and the way, my rental apartment windows are tinted, the few plants I had when I moved here didn't do real well so I gave them away. Then, I was in a grocery store appreciating the flower and plant section before I did my shopping. Someone must've picked this one up and then put it on a shelf away from the others. I'll swear to this day that i felt like it called to me until I went over to look at it. I told her it was a beautiful little plant, but it didn't want come home to my place because of the lighting and other conditions. It seemed to insist that it should come with me. So I read the little tag on the planter just to at least see what kind of succulent it was and it said "low light, easy care"and there was a little gold heart on that tag. So I said "OK if this doesn't work out it's on you" and we've been together ever since. Only one pup but it's grown to a decent size. No flower yet. Thanks for all the good information. 🤩💚🌻

[@zachlage5329]

I've had a haworthia attenuata for about 2 months now. Got it at a local plant store here in AZ. Repotted it the day I got it. It's required very little care...I've only wattered it twice. And it's grown nearly twice the size from day one. It's also deepened to a beautiful green from a lighter green/red...this video of yours helped me understand why that's a good thing! I find your videos to be so valuable. Thank you!

[@heatherdruschel4533]

For my birthday this year my brother got me a 3 month succulent of the month subscription. This was one of the first ones that I received. I am new to succulents so these videos are great for me to learn how to care for them!

[@chrisjohnston7679]

I’m so glad you talked about the crispy tips on the leaves. I recently ordered one online and when it came it had crispy tips but I wasn’t sure what that meant. I’ve been watering it properly, but I’m glad to hear that it’s normal!

[@ebonimorris8900]

I have been trying to create a plant nursery for years. I love plants the greenery in the life I have struggled with keeping it alive. I also grew up with a mother with a brown and black thumb which i am sure contributed to my misfortune at keeping plants alive. I recently bought “Spidey” my baby zebra succulent plant and I am determined to nurture my baby to maturation and propagation. Shortly after getting Spidey my parents gave me their Alo vera’s grandchild I named Vera due to a cat mishap they had to quickly be added to the same pot. Which meant I had to quickly learn how to transplant my baby to keep it well. I appreciate your website, resources and KZbin videos as they will help me do so. I hope to use the tools I learned through my research and most importantly from you and your resources to later show you Spidey as a mother with beautiful children and grandchildren. If nothing else as I learned I will be posting propagation videos next spring.

[@Succulentsandsunshine]

Thank you for sharing, look forward to Spidey's journey 😊

[@FoREVerOddorable]

I have mine growing outside. I rescued it from home depot. Some of the leaves were dry, but i repotted it and gave it a nice drink. After about 2 weeks I saw that it produced a pup. Its now back to having dark green leaves and it looks a lot healthier :)

[@jochildress5003]

I have had one of these on my kitchen windowsill for over a year. A friend gave it to me. Now it’s starting to look like it needs some care and propagation, so I’m watching this video to find out how to do it. I’m not usually a plant mom, but I’m grateful that people like you give such good and thorough instruction. I’m confident I’m going to have a few more of these in the near future because this one definitely needs to empty out its nest. Thank you so much for your tutelage.

[@owenkuhnke3785]

I actually kept all of mine outside all summer and spring last year, and all 4 of my Haworthias grew stalks and then flowers eventually. They seemed to thrive like crazy in the sun

[@Succulentsandsunshine]

That's awesome!

[@foggygardeninganddesign9077]

I received a planter with no drainage holes with three of these. I kept them indoors on a west facing window and I just recently removed seven chicks from it. I adore this as an indoor plant.

[@BlackStarSymphony]

I have a zebra plant right now, It's the first one I owned because I wanted something that needed less light. Her name is Gloria because she's glorious! I love her so much

[@TheHipfixer]

Rescued one of these three nights ago. It was root bound. Gave it a drink and its happy again. Thanks for those lesson

[@jennabennett4236]

This is a great video for people that are just getting an interest in succulents. I believe this would be the 1st plant I would recommend to a newbie too. You did a great job of providing, not only all of the information one would need to keep haworthia fasciata happy, but also the basics for most other succs, as well!

[@dodiekauffman7274]

I started one of the chicks for a Christmas gift for my plant loving grandson. I know he is going to love it because he admires mine.

[@danii729]

I used to have a zebra plant when i was little, i was so fascinated with it when i saw it, like 6 months later it died i never found out why but I think i over watered it because i remember the leaves becoming yellow, weak, and floppy, but that plant was one of the first succulents i had ever owned, and now I'm in love with them and have my collection. I enjoy going outside and watching them grow along with the tiny succulents that sprout from my propagation leaves. I hope I win the succulent tool kit!!! or one of the larger prizes, i'm especially hoping to win that mountain crest garden gift card to expand my collection!!

[@christgrl01]

We love the Zebra plants in our home. Our kids love succulents and Zebra plant is such a forgiving plant for them to care for in their rooms.

[@sarakling939]

I started my zebra plant growing indoors. Now I have it outside for the summer, and since I knew that it was summer dormant, I haven't been watering much at all. The information about the crispy yellow or brown leaves and the browning tips showing underwatering was very helpful. I will need to give it more water. I live in Eastern WA state and it has been very hot here lately, but we have very low humidity. Thanks, Cassidy!

[@zhangruyi3153]

I live in London and my Haworthia fasciata outside last winter and it was most unhappy. Only four of the little ones are left and this has taught me a lesson not to leave Haworthia fasciata in the cold in the winter. I am sure that the plant will recover in two years time with the love and care I give it every day.

[@wyndiefeatherstone948]

My plant is probably 5 years old and beautiful, i did not however check it for babies until recently and to my surprise there were 32! I gave 7 to a neighbor and planted the rest in containers. The mother grew in a large bowl on my patio partially shaded with other succulents. Now I have 25 new plants and I want to make sure the soil and lighting are correct. I had set them in sun but will promptly remove them and place them back on the patio. Buying plants can become expensive so when you learn to propagate any plant it opens a whole new world of possibilities to you and the knowledge you gain, along with curiosity is fantastic!

[@Succulentsandsunshine]

So very true!

[@joycelaubach2645]

I have a lot of experience with various varieties of Haworthia, each with a slightly (or sometimes not so slightly) different appearance. Like most succulent collectors, I'm always on the hunt for new types. Some are striped, some dotted, some variegated, some semi-translucent - very cool! I live in FL, so I definitely keep my Haworthias indoors or in a shaded portion of my lanai. I love that they have structural integrity and good looks sufficient to feature as a solo specimen, and are equally great as accents grouped in a potted arrangement. I still sometimes confuse Haworthia with smaller aloes, although recently learned that Aloes have teeth along the leaves, whereas Haworthias leaves are smooth. Not sure if that's a foolproof means to make the distinction though.

[@Succulentsandsunshine]

Oooh, that's a good tip! I feel like I can usually tell them apart but can't verbalize why it's one over the other 😆 The teeth seems like a pretty good tell!

[@ForestDoesTheirBest]

Me and my zebra plant have been through so much together. I've delt with over and underwatering for years. We are finally on the right track together, but I wish I had seen this video sooner! Thanks for all the good info!

[@RoseFelton]

Well I'm kind of new at growing succulents and have learned a lot from you. Today was no different. After watching the video I went looking for my Haworthia fasciata. Couldn't find it indoors so finally went looking for it outside. It was sitting in the sun with another succulent and neither one was looking very good. So, I brought them in the house, transplanted the Haworthia, watered them and put both plants near a window where they will get a lot of light, but be shaded at the same time. Looking forward to two healthier plants!! Thank you!

[@carlieworrell9528]

Hi! Great video, I have grown many Haworthia and they do very well for me. In my house in NY, I grow these inside on a south window. I tend to underwater and that works for most of these.

[@zeep6195]

I've grown an attenuata (alongside my other 'basic' succulents) and sadly it died due to overwatering. The other succulents are exposed to direct sunlight, and I think that's the reason why their soil is drying faster, and watering those succulents once a week seems fine. I also watered my attenuata once a week and since I'm growing it indoors, I didn't notice that the soil is not drying up before I water it, so soon after it died because of root rot. I recently purchased another attenuata plant, hopefully I can take better care of it this time.
