Common Name(s): Lime Zebra Plant, Striped Haworthia
Origin: Native to South Africa.
Description:
Brighten your collection with the Haworthiopsis attenuata ‘Lime’, a charming succulent celebrated for its rosettes of pointed, deep green leaves adorned with raised, lime-coloured stripes. This striking variegation creates a bold, textured look that stands out in any arrangement. A compact and slow-growing plant, it produces offsets freely to form a neat cluster over time, making it perfect for windowsills, desks, or as part of a vibrant succulent dish garden.
Care:
☀️ Light: Prefers bright, indirect light. Can tolerate some direct morning sun but should be protected from harsh afternoon rays.
💧 Water: Drought-tolerant – Water thoroughly only when the soil has completely dried out. Avoid water sitting in the rosette.
🌱 Soil: Requires a very well-draining gritty mix (cactus/succulent soil with added perlite).
🌡️ Temp: Thrives in typical indoor temperatures; protect from frost.
🔄 Growth: Propagates easily by separating the “pup” offsets that form around the base.
Pet Friendly: ✅ Non-toxic – Safe for homes with cats and dogs.
Local Growing Tip: An excellent, low-maintenance choice for South African gardens. It thrives in containers on shaded patios and pairs beautifully with other small succulents like Gasteria species.
