Plant/Product Description:
Haworthia fasciata, also known as the Zebra Plant, is a popular succulent known for its bold, green leaves that are adorned with striking white horizontal stripes.

Plant Care Notes:

• Sunlight: Prefers bright, indirect light but can tolerate some direct sun. Full sun will enhance the plant’s stripes and encourage compact growth.
• Watering: Water thoroughly when the soil is dry to the touch. Allow the soil to dry completely between waterings to prevent root rot.
• Soil: Requires well-draining succulent mix with added perlite or pumice for optimal drainage.
• Temperature: Thrives in temperatures between 70°F and 85°F (21°C to 29°C). Not frost-tolerant and should be protected from freezing temperatures.
• Dormancy: Haworthia fasciata is dormant in the summer, requiring minimal water during this period.
• Propagation: Easily propagated by offsets or leaf cuttings.
• Pests: Generally pest-resistant but may occasionally attract mealybugs or aphids.
