South African Zebra Haworthia is a real small scale succulent, very clumpy and busy. Lots and lots and lots of rosettes will fill your pot quickly and bulge right over the side too. Unrestricted by pot edges in the wild it forms big old stripey clumps. Attenuata means tapering and the leaves are small pointed and narrow and taper to a point at the tip. The Zebra nickname comes in with rows of brilliant white, raised dots marching over leaves of deep, rich, pine green with the inside centers of the rosettes, where the renewing baby leaves come out to greet the world, in a fresh grass green. Hot sun, stress, cold, dryness and whatever hassle the plant and cause wine, bronze, burgundy, purply rosy tints to flow over the plant, mixing with the greens. To ease the crowd in the pot, you can tip the whole plant out of the pot, and with the tough, fibrous roots, safely separate rosettes to make new pots of Zebras and share with friends. Blooms will happen on long, thin, mauve colored stalks; offset little,  white tubes opening to 6 loopy, recurved petals, each with a wine colored stripe from the throat to the tip, many flowers to a stalk. The good thing about this plant is the hypnotic patterns of all those dotted white lines.
