About This Plant

Haworthia Zebra Succulent (Haworthiopsis attenuata, often labelled Haworthia fasciata) is native to the Eastern Cape of South Africa. It grows very slowly, reaching 10-15 cm tall and 10-15 cm wide over several years, and eventually produces offsets (pups) around the base that can be separated into new plants.

The white zebra banding on dark green leaves looks beautiful. Each leaf has the same banding but at slightly different spacing, giving the rosette a consistent but not mechanical look. The Gasteria Little Warty is a related genus with different raised white bumps (tubercles) rather than stripes.

Safe for cats and dogs. The ASPCA confirms Haworthia spp. is non-toxic to cats and dogs. It is one of the few succulents that is both confirmed pet-safe and handles low light in a Canadian home.

It handles low light better than most succulents. Haworthia evolved in semi-shaded conditions under rocks and sparse shrubs in South Africa. Unlike Aloe, Echeveria, or Cactus, it does not need direct sun to stay healthy and compact.

Winter Dormancy

Haworthia enters a slow growth period from November through February in Canadian conditions. Reduce watering to once every four to six weeks with a small amount. Keep above 10 degrees C.

Toxicity

Non-toxic to cats and dogs, confirmed by the ASPCA (Haworthia spp.). One of the few pet-safe and low-light-tolerant succulents available. Safe for homes with pets and small children.

Pests

Mealybugs are the most common pest, hiding between the tightly packed rosette leaves and at the base of the plant. The white banding makes white mealybug clusters slightly harder to spot at first glance.

Other Plants You Might Like

Not sure this is the right fit? Here are three other plants our Canadian customers love. All ship across Canada and thrive in Canadian homes.

Gasteria Little Warty. Same family, warty texture.

For a closely related genus from the same southern African family with a different warty bumped texture and even greater low-light tolerance, the Gasteria Little Warty is also confirmed pet-safe and handles north-facing Canadian rooms.

Gasteraloe Green Ice. Hybrid and frosted.

For a Gasteria-Aloe hybrid with a different frosted, icy speckled leaf in a compact rosette, the Gasteraloe Green Ice is also pet-safe and handles medium indirect light in Canadian homes.

Delosperma Lehmannii. Flowering and sun-loving.

For a pet-status-unconfirmed South African succulent that thrives in direct sun with vivid daisy-like flowers, the Delosperma Lehmannii suits a south-facing windowsill where Haworthia is underused.

Common Questions

How often should I water the Haworthia Zebra Succulent?

Water when the soil is completely dry, every two to three weeks in spring and summer and once every four to six weeks in a Canadian winter dormancy. Haworthia handles drought well. Overwatering causes root rot which is the primary risk. Our indoor plant watering guide shows how to check correctly.

What light does it need in a Canadian home?

Low to bright indirect light. This is one of the few succulents that genuinely handles north-facing rooms and average Canadian apartment light. An east-facing window is ideal but not required. Read our guide to light requirements for indoor plants for more.

Is the Haworthia safe for cats and dogs?

Yes. The ASPCA confirms Haworthia spp. is non-toxic to cats and dogs. It is also low-light tolerant, making it one of the very few pet-safe succulents for Canadian apartments without south-facing windows.

Why is my Haworthia changing colour?

Haworthia can turn reddish or pinkish-brown when exposed to bright direct sun or when slightly stressed by cold or drought. This is called sun stress and is not harmful. The plant returns to its normal dark green when moved back to indirect light. Very pale or yellowish-green usually means too little light.

Will it survive a Canadian winter indoors?

Yes, and it handles Canadian winter conditions as well as almost any succulent available. Reduce watering to every four to six weeks, keep above 10 degrees C, and leave it in any available light. Read our tips on keeping plants alive in winter for more.

How to take care of Haworthia Succulent

Good to Know

Sun: Indirect

Low to bright indirect light. One of the few succulents that genuinely handles north-facing windows in Canadian homes. An east-facing window is ideal but a north-facing window also works.

Light: Low to bright indirect

Works in almost any indirect light position in a Canadian home year-round. From October to February, the reduced winter light causes almost no stress. This is one of its main practical advantages for Canadian apartments.

Water: When completely dry

Water only when soil is completely dry. Every two to three weeks in spring and summer, once every four to six weeks in Canadian winter dormancy. Drought tolerant. Never leave in standing water.

Humidity: Low

Thrives in the dry air of Canadian forced-air heated homes. No humidifier, no misting. One of the most practical small succulents for dry Canadian interiors from November to March.

Pet Friendly: Yes

Non-toxic to cats and dogs, confirmed by the ASPCA (Haworthia spp.). Safe for homes with pets and small children. One of the few pet-safe and low-light-tolerant succulents available.

Pro Tip

It is the succulent for people who want a beautiful low-maintenance plant on a desk or north-facing shelf where nothing else in the succulent category would survive. The most common mistake is watering it too often.
