Haworthiopsis attenuata, commonly known as the Zebra Plant, is a succulent perennial native to South Africa. It belongs to the family Asphodelaceae and the genus Haworthiopsis. This plant is known for its rosette of thick, dark green leaves with white, warty tubercles, giving it a distinctive striped appearance. It thrives in subtropical climates and has a dormancy period during the winter months.
Haworthiopsis attenuata is relatively easy to care for. It prefers bright, indirect light and can tolerate some direct sunlight. Water the plant sparingly, allowing the soil to dry out almost completely between waterings. It thrives in moderate temperatures and does well in average household humidity levels. Avoid overwatering, as this can lead to root rot.
Bodem
This succulent prefers well-draining soil, such as a cactus or succulent mix. A sandy soil type is ideal to ensure proper drainage. Avoid using heavy, clay-based soils that retain moisture, as this can cause root rot.
Kunstmest
Fertilize Haworthiopsis attenuata sparingly, using a balanced fertilizer with a nutrient composition of 2-7-7. Apply the fertilizer during the growing season, typically in the spring and summer, and reduce feeding during the dormant winter months.
Verpotten
Repot the plant every 2-3 years or when it outgrows its current pot. Choose a pot with drainage holes and use a well-draining soil mix. Gently remove the plant from its old pot, shake off excess soil, and place it in the new pot, filling in with fresh soil around the roots.
Voortplanting
Haworthiopsis attenuata can be propagated through offsets or leaf cuttings. The best time to propagate is during the growing season. For offsets, gently separate them from the mother plant and plant them in their own pots. For leaf cuttings, allow the cut end to callous over for a few days before planting in well-draining soil.
Snoeien
Pruning is generally not required for this plant. However, you can remove any dead or damaged leaves to maintain its appearance. Use clean, sharp scissors or pruning shears to make clean cuts.
Toxiciteit
Haworthiopsis attenuata is non-toxic to pets and humans, making it a safe choice for households with animals and children.
Aanvullend
Ensure the plant is placed in a well-ventilated area to prevent fungal issues. Rotate the plant occasionally to ensure even growth and exposure to light. During the dormant period in winter, reduce watering and avoid fertilizing.
