Haworthia fasciata ‘Varibilis’, commonly known as the Zebra Plant, is a slow-growing, hardy succulent with striking white bands on its pointed, fleshy green leaves. Unlike other succulents, it stays compact and neat, making it perfect for desktops, kitchen counters, or cosy corners indoors.
A truly low-maintenance plant, it brings structure, texture, and elegance to modern indoor spaces. It’s available at Jagtap Horticulture Pvt. Ltd., Magarpatta City, Pune, and for bulk at our Solapur Road branch. We offer PAN India delivery for all online and offline orders.
Light: Grows best in bright but indirect light. It handles shade well but maintains best leaf colour in soft sunlight.
Water: Allow soil to dry out between watering. In winter, water sparingly.
Soil & Fertilizer: Use soilless garden mix from Jagtap Nursery for proper drainage.
Feed with Vrindavan organic fertilizer once every 2 months for slow, healthy growth.
Temperature: Ideal between 18°C and 30°C. Avoid frost and intense afternoon sun.
✂️ Care Tips – Best Practices for Busy Homes
Place the plant near a window with soft morning light.
Water only at the base and avoid wetting the rosette.
Wipe leaves with a spray bottle mist or clean cloth to remove dust.
Remove dry leaves with a secator to keep it tidy.
No frequent repotting needed — it grows slow and stays compact.
