• Leaves: Dark green, stiff, and fleshy, covered with distinctive white, wart-like bumps.
• Habit: Grows in upright or slightly leaning triangular columns rather than flat rosettes.
• Size: Typically grows up to 5 to 15 centimeters (2 to 6 inches) tall
• Light: Thrives in bright, indirect sunlight. It can tolerate low indoor light, but intense direct sunlight will scorch or yellow the leaves.
• Water: Requires the soak-and-dry method. Water deeply only when the soil is completely dry. Overwatering causes root rot.
• Soil: Needs a fast-draining cactus or succulent mix.

The Zebra Wart Plant (Haworthiopsis attenuata, formerly Haworthia attenuata) is a small, low-maintenance succulent native to South Africa that is highly favored as an indoor houseplant. It forms a rosette of fleshy, dark green, lance-shaped leaves distinctive for their striking, horizontal bands of white, bumpy tubercles that resemble zebra stripes. Often confused with its rarer relative, Haworthia fasciata, the Zebra Wart Plant is easily identified by the presence of these white warts on both the upper and lower surfaces of its leaves. It thrives in bright, indirect sunlight and well-draining soil, requiring minimal watering due to its exceptional drought tolerance. Because of its compact size, slow growth habit, and resilience, it is an ideal choice for desk tops, terrariums, and beginner plant enthusiasts.
