📋 Plant Profile & Care Details
Botanical Name: Haworthiopsis attenuata (formerly Haworthia attenuata)
Common Names: Zebra Haworthia, Zebra Plant, Pearl Plant
Origin: Eastern Cape, South Africa 🇿🇦
Pet Safety: 🐾 100% Pet-Friendly! Non-toxic to cats and dogs.
💡 How to Keep It Thriving:
☀️ Light: Thrives in bright, indirect light. A south- or east-facing windowsill is ideal. (Avoid harsh, direct mid-day sun, which can cause leaf scorching).
💧 Watering: Follow the "Soak and Dry" method! Water thoroughly only when the soil is completely dry to the touch. Reduce watering significantly during winter.
🪴 Soil & Potting: Requires gritty, fast-draining cactus or succulent potting mix with a drainage hole to prevent root rot.
🌡️ Temperature: Thrives in standard indoor temperatures (60°F–80°F / 15°C–27°C). Keep away from cold drafts or sub-zero frost during winter!
🌱 Propagation: Super easy! It naturally produces "pups" (offsets) around its base that you can separate and turn into fresh new potted plants.
