Flowering and Fragrance

When grown outdoors, Haworthiopsis attenuata flowers in the fall. It has small white or pink flowers that grow on a tall, thin stem.

It grows best in bright light and warm, dry climates, but it can tolerate partial shade outdoors. Indoors, place the plant on a windowsill that allows the plant to get lots of sunlight throughout the day, without constant direct sunlight – no full sun!

In most regions, a west-facing or east-facing window should offer optimal sunlight for the plant.

NOTE: If the leaves turn white or yellow, the plant is getting too much sun. If the green color slowly fades, it’s not getting enough sun.

Watering and Feeding
The Haworthiopsis zebra doesn’t need frequent watering, except during the summer. Water the plant evenly throughout the warmer months, as this is when the plant achieves most of its growth.

Soil and Transplanting

Grow the plant in succulent or cactus potting soil mix. Haworthiopsis reinwardtii needs fast-draining soil. Always use a pot with a drainage hole.

• size of the plant: 4 inches, blooming size.
• well rooted, healthy plant
• contents: succulent-1, potting mix, plant tag-1, pot-1.
• FERTILIZER: Enrich the soil using a fertilizer rich in potassium and phosphorous.( bonemeal powder/BASACOTE FERTILIZER)
• WATERING: Indoor plants will need even less water than an outdoor plant because they are exposed to less sunshine. Keep in mind that overwatering is basically the only way in which you can kill a succulent. So, allow the soil to completely dry out before watering this plant.
