![]() ![]() During the hot summer months, the soil should be kept moist but not overly wet. (with some sun exposure the leaf develops a nice reddish tint and remains compact) They are tolerant of a wide range of soils and habitats, but prefer a very porous potting mix to increase drainage. The plant needs light shade to shade, but will take full sun part of the day. Haworthia rugosa (Salm-Dyck) Baker : Has prominent white tubercles arranged in more or less regular lengthwise rows on the leaves.Ĭultivation and Propagation: They are of easy cultivation, which makes them a good houseplant, and can be an excellent subject for the beginning succulentophile (it can grow easily on window sills, verandas and in miniature succulent gardens where they are happy to share their habitat with other smaller succulent plants, or in outdoor rockeries).Wide Zebra : Beautiful plant with strikingly leaves marked with very large white stripes on the under-sides. It is highly variable with several degree of variegation also in the same plant. variegata : The evergreen perennial dark green foliage is highlighted with silvery-white, yellow or orange vertical variegation. : has leaves variably striped with yellow or pink. radula (Jacq.) M.B.Bayer : Has many very minute crowded white tubercles. clariperla (Haw.) Baker : Form with numerous raised white dots on the leaves (rarely merged to form short lines) It is highly variable and offsets profusely with several forms and variety. ![]() : Stemless clustering succulent with pointed leaves banded with white transversal stripes and spots. Subspecies, varieties, forms and cultivars of plants belonging to the Haworthia attenuata group The lower surface of the leaves have transverse bands of tuberclesįlowers: Relatively inconspicuous white-greenish.īloom time: Can be ever blooming if you snip off each bloom when it dies. Tubercles are "patterned" on the upper surface of the leaves. Leaves: Dark green, concave, slender, pointed and strikingly banded or spotted with white (hence the common name zebra plant). Rosettes: Almost stemless, 6-12cm diameter, 6-13(25) cm tall, heavily clumping. Particularly the name “attenuata” is used for wildly different forms and can cause confusion. One problem with Gasteria is that there are so many hybrids between species, seedling variability and differences between juvenile and adult plants, that it becomes almost impossible to distinguish many forms from one another. It is very variable, comes in many varieties and forms ranging from solid green with only few tiny white bumps to heavily white horizontal banded forms, and also individual clump that has broad, heavy horizontal stripes will sometimes throw off a pup with just bumps, or some will be smoother, knobbier, etc., and vice-versa. It can eventually form large mat-like clumps and is one of the most common species in cultivation. It is easily recognizable by the white pearly warts that densely cover the dark-green leaves. perviridis (Salm-Dyck) A.Bergerĭescription: It is a low growing and almost stemless clustering perennial-succulent. Haworthiopsis attenuata (Haw.) G.D.Rowley.
