Zebra Haworthia (Haworthiopsis attenuata) Christine (and Ferdy) made it so I could not resist getting some new houseplants, so this was one of my recent purchases. I absolutely love succulents, and this one was quite interesting. Geotagged,Haworthiopsis attenuata,Summer,United States

Appearance

It is an evergreen succulent plant with short leaves arranged in rosettes 6–12 cm in diameter. The succulent leaves are tapered and have bands of white tubercles on them. The species subdivides and offsets readily; in the wild it forms large clumps. It is popular as a house plant, due to its resistance to drought and general hardiness.

It is frequently confused with the rarer ''Haworthiopsis fasciata'', to which it looks very similar. However ''Haworthiopsis attenuata'' can easily be distinguished by its white tubercles, which occur on both upper and lower sides of its leaves . A fundamental distinction is that ''H. attenuata's'' leaves are not fibrous. In addition, the leaves of ''H.attenuata'' are often longer, thinner, and more splayed out.
