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.
You probably dont give a damn but does any of you know a method to get back into an instagram account? I somehow lost the account password. I would appreciate any tips you can offer me!
@Shepard Lucian i really appreciate your reply. I got to the site thru google and Im in the hacking process atm. I see it takes a while so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
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. 🤩💚🌻
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!
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: ua-cam.com/video/9-yp-JPXENM/v-deo.html ua-cam.com/video/C-zidM4y4ss/v-deo.html
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!
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
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.
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 :)
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!
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!
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.
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!
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
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 UA-cam 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.
G cee It sits by the window inside and just chills there, watered every so often. It’s sprung up some other zebra plants right next to it too! I honestly knew nothing about succulents when I bought it and still don’t know much, just got lucky I guess! It’s beautiful though an I love it very much 😂
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!!
I am very thankful that i was able to watch this video because I have zebra plant now . I know now that zebra don' t need so much sunlight . Thank you for the inspiring tips
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.
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!
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!
My neighbor had one Zebra plant and a string of pearls by her door... I watched them slowly die. Then my neighbor left the apartment and left the zebra plant. So I adopted it! Now it is a happy zebra plant!
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!
I just bought one and this was so helpful. I was about to leave it in the sun all day but now I'm going to make sure it stays in my window. And thank you for the explanation about how the leaves tell me what it needs.
Love the videos with all of the extra info on individual succulents. Interesting info that Haworthia fasciata is striped on the outside. Also, love knowing that it grows best indoors. Am looking forward to all of your videos. Thanks so much!
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!
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.
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!
I simply love your videos and I am learning so much thanks to you !! I am a succulent fan making a living as an English teacher in Castilla la Mancha Spain. I do have a Haworthia at home and I know how resilient it can be. A beauty that can endure beginners´wrongdoing.
Love Haworthias! Thank you for the info. I didn't know the difference between fasciata and attenuata. Close ups of the plants would be helpful while you are showing them.
I'm a beginner. I had a zebra plant that I kept in the same pot for a few years, I didn't take care of it properly so it died. Fortunately, before dying, it grew 3 offsets that I planted in their own pot. One of them didn't survive but the 2 remaining are thriving :) I've just discovered your channel, it's very interesting! I'm currently trying to grow succulent seeds.
So glad your other pups survived! Growing from seed can be challenging, but fun!! :) Learn how to do it here: succulentsandsunshine.com/yt-succulentseeds
Loving the videos! I just got my first Zebra plant about a month ago and then discovered Mountain Crest Gardens, Needless to say I now have more succulents than my apartment can handle. I do believe the Zebra plant is my favorite so far. I'm looking forward to learning more from your videos. I did not do well with cuttings I purchased from another place so hopefully I can learn and have a new hobby I love.
I got little baby zebra from a friend 4 years ago, it has been my easiest plant to take care of. I tend to underwater my succulents, but with this one they seems to be the perfect amount ! It's at a south facing window but there quite some shade from trees there, that seems to be perfect for this one. I was really scared when I decided to break off its 3 first babies last year (who were bigger than the baby I got, but they all made it !
Thank you! This plant has encouraged me to grow more veggies! Im happy to know it grew me as i grew it. This video confirmed my theory i have 3 or 4 that need to leave the nest 😲😬🙄😁👍😍
Your videos are always so helpful!! The more o buy succulent the more I come to your channel for support. I have about 6-8 Zebra plants and keep forgetting they don’t like full sun. Ugh!!! Thank you again for this video.
The zebra plant is my only succulent. Now I know it's name. Thank you. I have it inside my front door and I'm so glad I am doing the right thing. I was just under watering a bit. Great tips.
I have numerous plants in this family inside and out. I have the largest one outside where it gets lots of sun! I will keep an eye on it although it is wonderful and gave me lots of blooms this past summer.
I recently brought home my darling Zebra plant! I named him Spike. I absolutely love this succulent and I hope I can keep it alive for a long time. I might invest in some more plants, but right now, since I’m a beginner, this little one is my main focus!
One of the first succulents I bought when I started 8 months ago and yet I got the practical tips from you now. Just a suggestion to have more close ups in your video as you're filming tiny cute little things often. Thanks for the tips !!!
Thanks! I’ve loved your videos for quite a while now. I’m going to water my haworthia fasciata by soaking as I’ve killed several & this was my last time to buy.
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.
i bought this little plant about 2 weeks ago & bit worriend about its care, but ur video helps me a lot in clearing my doubts especially about the bright light bt not direct sunlight. big thanks.
Great video! Just started getting into more succulent varieties and I have one of these. So far it’s been my easiest succulent to take care of. :) Thanks for the care info!
This is my 1st plant ever! I'm scared it will die. I have it only for 3 days and I just want it to live. I'm happy to know that it's easy to grow and are actually a good plant for beginners. :) Thank you!
This was my very very first one a couple of years ago! She did so well up until I actually took an interest in succulents and took apart her planter because I realized she was stuck in a drain less pot full of sphagnum. Aaaand then she rotted and died suddenly. It's funny cause you're walking us through this and basically narrating all the reasons mine died. Haha!
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. However, my underwatering has caused a few to be stunted. Now I know what to look for as you explained in this video, thank you so much!
My friend gave me a tinny zebra plant! He's in a pot that looks like a sneaker and he lives on the windowsill in my bathroom and he's doing great!! I didn't know you can propagate these, I can't wait for it to start growing chics so I can have MORE zebra plants!!!
I've inherited some haworthias on the property but thought they were fasciata. Your video taught me they're attenuatas! And they're pinkish so getting too much sun.
I have one & it has babies on 2 sides, TY for the information on this plant. I just bought my 2nd one yesterday. However I’ve had mine on the patio table under the umbrella, I’ll make sure it doesn’t get too much sun as I noticed a few tips we’re getting red in color. Mine is in a clay pot, it got very wet yesterday due to a storm we had, will watch that it dries out.
My plant was over “loved” 😢 it has also fallen apart and the leaves have all detached due to it being soggy. Am I able to propagate individual leaves? Or rescue it any way?
The Haworthia is my favorite succulent so far. I have several in my collection and other than a few of the tips looking dry probably when shipped to me they are doing great. I live in Minnesota we have had a hot summer but my patio is covered with roof and they love it here. I will be bringing them in soon for the winter. Love your show keep talking about winter hardy succulents as we here in Hardy Minnesota are listening....... Thanks Kathy
Thank you! This series will be mostly tender, but I'm hoping to do another series and include many more cold hardy. There are a lot, but most people don't know about them!
i bought two of these for $3 off facebook marketplace. they were so closed up when i got them but i figured they were just getting too much light ... i put them in a low-medium indirect light corner of my room and theyre growing great without stretching!
I was given a air plant I don't know what it's called off the top of my head but it looks like grass that grows in a little glass bulb you get them at the grocery store in the flower area and it was really hard to take care of because you're supposed to water them and then hang them upside down but it was glued to the container with plant safe glue soap I couldn't really do that very well and it died but the Zebra Haworthia that I got with it from a friend last year in 2021 is still doing good it hasn't produced any flowers because I was keeping it inside by a window that gets more indirect light not very bright mostly shaded and I could never open the window but I have a nice apartment that is getting a decent light at the back so I crack the window at all times and leave it on the window sill and I water it only when it needs to every couple weeks sometimes every few days just depends on how much water sometimes I give it a couple tablespoons it just kind of depends it doesn't need much but the pot that it's in is I want to say 6" diameter so it's getting a good amount of space and it produces a couple pups but I haven't taken the pups off to give my dad but he wants some but I might just start him off with a fresh plant because I don't know if I've ruined it forever producing flowers although it was told to me that it would be just fine if it never produces flowers but I'm hoping that the conditions are better now I live in Kansas City Missouri so I try to keep it where it's not getting too cold or too hot but I'm hoping that it didn't ruin the plant forever producing flowers in the future even its last apartment and therefore I'm just going to get my dad a new plant to start fresh for him but do you think that I still have a potential to produce flowers in the future or will it just not produce flowers at this point it's fine if it doesn't it's still beautiful and adorable like it is and it inspired my dad to get one because he just likes how adorable it is he said he loves how adorable it is and would like one and I was like well here's all that I know about it and I showed him a picture of one with flowers and he was like oh my gosh now I even more want one so I think I'm going to get him one that he can start fresh that I know it's probably going to produce flowers unlike mine which I don't know if it will ever produce flowers now cuz I didn't give it the best conditions from the get-go but I am now so I I'm kind of curious what you think mine just look like the ones you have in the video which are nice and medium green no flowers in a 6-in pot and live in the life. Now I heard that depending on the watering and the type of sunlight that it could get as dark as purple and that it would be just fine that the color range kind of depends on it's conditions but that that's totally normal. What is your thought on that? Cuz in my last apartment when I wasn't giving it the best sunlight mostly indirect and mostly shaded and never opening the window it was more of a lime green and now it's more of a medium green like the ones in your video and I've heard that it can get as deep as purple which is totally normal out here so I'm just curious if you have any information on my questions and sorry for the many questions.
The color of a "Zebra Plant" can vary depending on the light and care it's receiving. You can get in-depth information on how to care for your "Zebra Plant" in this post: succulentsandsunshine.com/yt-zebra For detailed answers to your questions, we'd love to invite you to the Succulent Lovers Club! succulentsandsunshine.com/yt-club
Up here in Canada I grow these on indoor windowsills not facing south, and only bring them outdoors in summer. I water all my plants every 2-3 weeks using the soak and drain method. I don’t ignore them, it’s more like benign neglect.
Thank you Cassidy. I learned I need to take my zebra plant out of the south-facing windowsill! Will transplant it to the succulent neighborhood living on the north side of the house!
The haworthia fasciata has always been one of my favorite succulents. Thanks for the information on their care. You're right about it being easy to care for. Mine is fine in spite of me!
Zebra plant was my ‘gateway’ plant to my current succulent addiction! 😝
Succulent Addiction? Join S.A.? It's a 12 step program? Ummm no, I don't know what what you're talking about😜
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.
You probably dont give a damn but does any of you know a method to get back into an instagram account?

@Shepard Lucian i really appreciate your reply. I got to the site thru google and Im in the hacking process atm.
I see it takes a while so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
@Shepard Lucian it worked and I actually got access to my account again. I am so happy:D
Thank you so much, you really help me out :D
@Julian Brayan you are welcome :)
Haworthia was my first! Now I'm addicted to succulents. Have about 40!

Mine that I bought nearly 10 years ago is massive now
Hi...very interesting...how do you care for it please
Really!!! How big is it? How do you care for it? Do you keep it inside?
I wanna see a pic 😍 I'm sure it's beautiful 😍
G cee It sits by the window inside and just chills there, watered every so often. It’s sprung up some other zebra plants right next to it too! I honestly knew nothing about succulents when I bought it and still don’t know much, just got lucky I guess! It’s beautiful though an I love it very much 😂
@@ZayAgka so how often do you water it?because I want mine to grow fast😬
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.
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.

My zebra was the first succulent and I’ve since gotten several more. I like how easy they are to take care of.
Me too

Haworthia Zebra plants are the best!! Mine is about 3 years old now and it's gorgeous with its "kids" around it!!!
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!
Thank you for explaining the difference between fasciata and attenuata. I love details like this and think it's important info.
I just bought one and this was so helpful. I was about to leave it in the sun all day but now I'm going to make sure it stays in my window. And thank you for the explanation about how the leaves tell me what it needs.
Hello i love this plant i have it and have a flower it is beautiful .love your channel.😁
Thanks so much 😊
Love the videos with all of the extra info on individual succulents. Interesting info that Haworthia fasciata is striped on the outside. Also, love knowing that it grows best indoors. Am looking forward to all of your videos. Thanks so much!
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!
So very true!
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.
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!
I simply love your videos and I am learning so much thanks to you !! I am a succulent fan making a living as an English teacher in Castilla la Mancha Spain. I do have a Haworthia at home and I know how resilient it can be. A beauty that can endure beginners´wrongdoing.
Love Haworthias! Thank you for the info. I didn't know the difference between fasciata and attenuata. Close ups of the plants would be helpful while you are showing them.
I'm a beginner. I had a zebra plant that I kept in the same pot for a few years, I didn't take care of it properly so it died. Fortunately, before dying, it grew 3 offsets that I planted in their own pot. One of them didn't survive but the 2 remaining are thriving :)
I've just discovered your channel, it's very interesting! I'm currently trying to grow succulent seeds.
So glad your other pups survived!
Growing from seed can be challenging, but fun!! :) Learn how to do it here:

Loving the videos! I just got my first Zebra plant about a month ago and then discovered Mountain Crest Gardens, Needless to say I now have more succulents than my apartment can handle. I do believe the Zebra plant is my favorite so far. I'm looking forward to learning more from your videos. I did not do well with cuttings I purchased from another place so hopefully I can learn and have a new hobby I love.
I got little baby zebra from a friend 4 years ago, it has been my easiest plant to take care of. I tend to underwater my succulents, but with this one they seems to be the perfect amount ! It's at a south facing window but there quite some shade from trees there, that seems to be perfect for this one.
I was really scared when I decided to break off its 3 first babies last year (who were bigger than the baby I got, but they all made it !
Thank you! This plant has encouraged me to grow more veggies! Im happy to know it grew me as i grew it. This video confirmed my theory i have 3 or 4 that need to leave the nest 😲😬🙄😁👍😍
Enjoyed the video and had to take a look at the plant my daughter gave me....yes, it's a zebra olant!
This is one of my all time favorites. I have been growing it outside for a few years and am now trying it out indoors. :)
Your videos are always so helpful!! The more o buy succulent the more I come to your channel for support. I have about 6-8 Zebra plants and keep forgetting they don’t like full sun. Ugh!!! Thank you again for this video.
I probably learned more in these few minutes than I did my entire life about my wonderful little plant. Thank you for the watering explanation :)
thank You I just received my first 4 zebra plants, so I'll keep you updated
I just bought one of these two days ago, so great timing on how to care for it.
Thanks for all the information. It's nice to be able to learn about each type of succulent. It's making my addiction easier to keep alive.
I bought one zebra plant and then another that had two good size babies, now I have four plants. I love them so much. Great video.
My favorite succulent for being so low maintance! 😍
This is my favorite plant, thank you for the info about direct sunlight. My Zebra is actually got sunburn so now it is in the shade.
The zebra plant is my only succulent. Now I know it's name. Thank you. I have it inside my front door and I'm so glad I am doing the right thing. I was just under watering a bit.
Great tips.
I’ll have to add the Zebra Plant to my wishlist of succulents! Thanks for the info!!
I have numerous plants in this family inside and out. I have the largest one outside where it gets lots of sun! I will keep an eye on it although it is wonderful and gave me lots of blooms this past summer.
I recently brought home my darling Zebra plant! I named him Spike. I absolutely love this succulent and I hope I can keep it alive for a long time. I might invest in some more plants, but right now, since I’m a beginner, this little one is my main focus!
I'm new to liking plants. But last weekend I went and bought 4 succulents and this was one of them. I love it !!
You make such informative videos. Thank you. I love my indoor haworthias. I may move one outside to see if it it will grow larger!
One of the first succulents I bought when I started 8 months ago and yet I got the practical tips from you now. Just a suggestion to have more close ups in your video as you're filming tiny cute little things often. Thanks for the tips !!!
Thanks for the feedback :)
Thanks! I’ve loved your videos for quite a while now.
I’m going to water my haworthia fasciata by soaking as I’ve killed several & this was my last time to buy.
One of my FAVORITES! Mine has been thriving inside in the PNW. Flowered this year and has several pups in the pot too!
Good to know! PNW can be a bit tricky to grow succulents. At least imo happy yours is doing great indoors!
Yes, they are good with less light and perfect for indoors here.
I live in a zone 8 climate and I’ve seen this plant planted in outdoor basket and left out all year round and its thriving
Thank you for sharing the difference between faciata and attenuata! Excited for more videos!
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.
Hopefully this video helped 🙂 This post also has some care information that may be useful for you:

i bought this little plant about 2 weeks ago & bit worriend about its care, but ur video helps me a lot in clearing my doubts especially about the bright light bt not direct sunlight. big thanks.
Great video! Just started getting into more succulent varieties and I have one of these. So far it’s been my easiest succulent to take care of. :) Thanks for the care info!
This is my 1st plant ever! I'm scared it will die. I have it only for 3 days and I just want it to live. I'm happy to know that it's easy to grow and are actually a good plant for beginners. :) Thank you!
You can do it!!! This is a great one to start with 😄
This was my very very first one a couple of years ago! She did so well up until I actually took an interest in succulents and took apart her planter because I realized she was stuck in a drain less pot full of sphagnum. Aaaand then she rotted and died suddenly.
It's funny cause you're walking us through this and basically narrating all the reasons mine died. Haha!
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. However, my underwatering has caused a few to be stunted. Now I know what to look for as you explained in this video, thank you so much!
I love all of your videos and can't wait for the next one!! ☺️ I'm a beginner and your videos have helped me so much!!
Katie Denniston I’m so glad I found her. I’ve always loved succulents but always afraid of killing them.
I bought my first one a few weeks ago and it is very small. I'm looking forward to watching it grow.
My friend gave me a tinny zebra plant! He's in a pot that looks like a sneaker and he lives on the windowsill in my bathroom and he's doing great!! I didn't know you can propagate these, I can't wait for it to start growing chics so I can have MORE zebra plants!!!
Allison Jarvis I love zebra plant succulents! I bought mine a couple weeks ago and I love it so much!!
I love Haworthia's of all kinds. They are such resilient plants and definitely great for beginners.
Would you say this information would apply to most haworthia
Yes it does 🙂
@@Succulentsandsunshine OK thank you so much!
I love the Zebra plant! I've had one in my office for several months now and it's growing like crazy.
This was my first succulent. I love this little guy!
I love those little guys! Fortunately, they are hardy enough to handle even my care of them!
I have one of these plants! ;) Its great to learn more about it. Thank you!
I just bought a small zebra succulent and wanted to know how to care for it, good timing of this video! Thanks for all your knowledge!👍
I didn't know there were different types, I thought they were all simply Zebra Plants. I just learned something new. :)
I am so happy to see that after watching your video, my Zebra Plant is extremely healthy with a beautiful dark green color. Thank you!
I've inherited some haworthias on the property but thought they were fasciata. Your video taught me they're attenuatas! And they're pinkish so getting too much sun.
I have one & it has babies on 2 sides, TY for the information on this plant. I just bought my 2nd one yesterday. However I’ve had mine on the patio table under the umbrella, I’ll make sure it doesn’t get too much sun as I noticed a few tips we’re getting red in color. Mine is in a clay pot, it got very wet yesterday due to a storm we had, will watch that it dries out.
My plant was over “loved” 😢 it has also fallen apart and the leaves have all detached due to it being soggy. Am I able to propagate individual leaves? Or rescue it any way?
Mine too.. It broke from the centre😢 if u get to know please tell me as well
Mine too. Now dead
Mine just fell apart today. So sad ☹️
I love how you break down all the information and make it so easy to follow along! Now I'm ready to get a Zebra Plant!
It’s the only succulent I haven’t killed!!!
I just got a zebra plant yesterday!!! Im so glad this video is here to guide me on how to care for my new baby ❤
Now I know why the base of my Haworthia is turning red.
Love these little Zebras. They are really handsome.
I have grown these with success inside, I’m happy to know it doesn’t need a lot of care and stays about the same.
The Haworthia is my favorite succulent so far. I have several in my collection and other than a few of the tips looking dry probably when shipped to me they are doing great. I live in Minnesota we have had a hot summer but my patio is covered with roof and they love it here. I will be bringing them in soon for the winter. Love your show keep talking about winter hardy succulents as we here in Hardy Minnesota are listening....... Thanks Kathy
Thank you! This series will be mostly tender, but I'm hoping to do another series and include many more cold hardy. There are a lot, but most people don't know about them!
i bought two of these for $3 off facebook marketplace. they were so closed up when i got them but i figured they were just getting too much light ... i put them in a low-medium indirect light corner of my room and theyre growing great without stretching!
Fantastic video! Wonderful tips too. Thanks for sharing! 🌞
I was given a air plant I don't know what it's called off the top of my head but it looks like grass that grows in a little glass bulb you get them at the grocery store in the flower area and it was really hard to take care of because you're supposed to water them and then hang them upside down but it was glued to the container with plant safe glue soap I couldn't really do that very well and it died but the Zebra Haworthia that I got with it from a friend last year in 2021 is still doing good it hasn't produced any flowers because I was keeping it inside by a window that gets more indirect light not very bright mostly shaded and I could never open the window but I have a nice apartment that is getting a decent light at the back so I crack the window at all times and leave it on the window sill and I water it only when it needs to every couple weeks sometimes every few days just depends on how much water sometimes I give it a couple tablespoons it just kind of depends it doesn't need much but the pot that it's in is I want to say 6" diameter so it's getting a good amount of space and it produces a couple pups but I haven't taken the pups off to give my dad but he wants some but I might just start him off with a fresh plant because I don't know if I've ruined it forever producing flowers although it was told to me that it would be just fine if it never produces flowers but I'm hoping that the conditions are better now I live in Kansas City Missouri so I try to keep it where it's not getting too cold or too hot but I'm hoping that it didn't ruin the plant forever producing flowers in the future even its last apartment and therefore I'm just going to get my dad a new plant to start fresh for him but do you think that I still have a potential to produce flowers in the future or will it just not produce flowers at this point it's fine if it doesn't it's still beautiful and adorable like it is and it inspired my dad to get one because he just likes how adorable it is he said he loves how adorable it is and would like one and I was like well here's all that I know about it and I showed him a picture of one with flowers and he was like oh my gosh now I even more want one so I think I'm going to get him one that he can start fresh that I know it's probably going to produce flowers unlike mine which I don't know if it will ever produce flowers now cuz I didn't give it the best conditions from the get-go but I am now so I I'm kind of curious what you think mine just look like the ones you have in the video which are nice and medium green no flowers in a 6-in pot and live in the life. Now I heard that depending on the watering and the type of sunlight that it could get as dark as purple and that it would be just fine that the color range kind of depends on it's conditions but that that's totally normal. What is your thought on that? Cuz in my last apartment when I wasn't giving it the best sunlight mostly indirect and mostly shaded and never opening the window it was more of a lime green and now it's more of a medium green like the ones in your video and I've heard that it can get as deep as purple which is totally normal out here so I'm just curious if you have any information on my questions and sorry for the many questions.

Growing this one right now indoors by a bright window. It looks like it's doing pretty good 👍
I love this little plant, I grow it inside the house near a window with bright light and is doing great!
Up here in Canada I grow these on indoor windowsills not facing south, and only bring them outdoors in summer. I water all my plants every 2-3 weeks using the soak and drain method. I don’t ignore them, it’s more like benign neglect.
Thank you Cassidy. I learned I need to take my zebra plant out of the south-facing windowsill! Will transplant it to the succulent neighborhood living on the north side of the house!
The haworthia fasciata has always been one of my favorite succulents. Thanks for the information on their care. You're right about it being easy to care for. Mine is fine in spite of me!
I knew nothing about this plant and have never grown it...thank you.
You are so awesome. Thanks for the video
