I purchased this succulent about a month ago and it's flourishing. I have it sitting under a grow light with the other succulents and I can't believe it's growing well. I just started growing succulents about 3 months ago and I'm enjoying it.
Wonderful! It must be so beautiful 😍
How big is it these days
I have 5 Haworthias, one a Zebra. They’re probably 6-8 months old and about when I started growing succulents. I don’t have mine in very deep pots but after watching this video, I’m going to repot them in another month. I really liked your video. You have just enough information but not too much like some that talk too much. I’d say your videos are one of my top 5 succulent growing ones.
So lovely! Thank you 🥰
Now I understand why my Haworthia still thrives even with blinds on my window. Glad that they would do well even with a bit low light environment.
Exactly! That is why Haworthia Zebra is perfect for an indoor setting! How big is your plant?
Good for beginners 😏, I killed atleast 4 haworthia😭😭😭
We hope it helps you
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
same :P
I too 😁
Me too!!!
people on r/plantclinic shamed me as a newbie lol, i was asking what was wrong with mine. it died cause i didn’t water it enough. there were so many other components though so i was confused, thank you for this video!
I'm so sorry to hear that. But the most skilled gardeners also fail the very first time so please don't worry. Your next babies will thrive well because I can see that you try so hard 💝
🍃Thanx for this INFORMATIVE vid!💚...Rescued 1wk ago & knew NOTHING @ALL about my new plant. Glad to see it's a EASY succulent for beginners. Depresses me to see any of my 🍃babies🍃 waste away
I have one of those. I keep it outside, and if it doesn't rain, I will soak it in water until it is soaking wet. I never knew that they bloomed. I have several branches coming from the plant, and they are full of tiny white leaves, absolutely beautiful. My plant does have babies coming from the mother plant, but I'm scared to mess with it, so I will probably just let it do its thing . The plant does get morning and afternoon sun, maybe a bit too much, but she evidently likes her spot.
Thanks for important information
Well done video. You were right to the point and explained it well.
Glad it was helpful!
Great video! Such an awesome succulent. I have one but I definitely want a few more to make a gorgeous planter with. They have such beauty to show and are the most easiest, non picky succulent I've grown so far. The succulents box has amazing succulents for such a great price! ❤

Cute plant
Thank you 👍👍👌
Glad that you like the video!
Ok this helped so much thank you!!!!!I just got mine and it looks great ,I wanted to ask that is it mandatory to seperate the pups?Love your channel btw :D
Not at all! You can let it attach to the parent plant. Only when you want to propagate that you can choose to separate the pup
This video is very helpful my zebra is so thin maybe she did not receive light sun shine the place she was place is so shaded
Thank you so much for the encouragement
Wow, I just bought from you guys, then I get you in my CZcams suggestions? It wasn’t even this phone I ordered on!
I ordered String of Pearls, String of Hearts, and another succulent to get in on the free random plant thingy you guys are doing! I’m really excited!!
Lol Creepy 😹😹😹
Thanks for your support 💚
@@SucculentsBox of course! I’m worried about one of them. It came in broken, squished and soft, i don’t think succlents are supposed to be that soft. And the leeves are barely hanging on but on it. Is that normal?
@@SucculentsBox I literally woke up to the notification they arrived!
I got this plant about 3 years ago on my birthday, hardly ever water it, kept on a shelf, in a small pot, just now learning how to take care of it 😭
How do you check the water moisture level if there's top dressing white gravels on the top of my planter? + how many ounce of water should I use for a 4 inch, 6inch pot with one Harworthia?
To make sure the amount of water is at right level, you can use a moisture meter. Here is how to use it succulentsbox.com/blogs/blog/how-to-use-a-moisture-meter
Is there a way I could email or send you a picture of my Haworthia Zebras? I have a few that all have different problems and I’m not sure what to do. Google isn’t helping.
What do I do with the dead ends?
One leaf of my haworthia looks yellow at the bottom, and I water it every 28 days. It is also indoors since I put it on my table and my table isn't in direct sunlight ☹️
I dont know what to do, it's my first plant.
thank you. Could you please do snake plant care?
Hi there, nice suggestion. We actually do care-guide videos for those plants available on our website succulentsbox.com and snake plant is not one of them. However, we do love that plant so will take your suggestion into consideration. Thank you so much!
Can we bottom water it by placing it in water tray?
How are these supposed to feel? I bought one off of Facebook market place and not sure if it's healthy. My leaves are hard, not too much squish to them, some parts are a reddish brown and has roots growing from the middle of the plant. I wish I could post a pic for you!
You should! Send the picture of your plant to support@succulentsbox.com so we could assist you better.
Mine came with a tag that says it needs fertilizer every couple Months would Mircale Gro indoor plant food work?
You could also try out the succulent fertilizer available on our website succulentsbox.com/products/succulent-fertilizer
I just got my zebra baby yesterday an I watered it an the soil feels dry
I kept one to close to a radiator and it got to dry had to move it started drying out some end leafes and gone yellow and wrinkled
Yes also lack of nutrients. If the yellowed and wrinkled leaves are severely damaged, you can trim them off to encourage new growth.
I have aloe haworthia do i need to water from top or just put water under the aloe.
The soil is dry but not so dry and it hasen't died yet.
Another of my cactus the soil is realy though but it still grows and i water it every month from under the cactus
hey you should directly water into the soil, remeber to not let the water stuck between its leaves as this could lead to root rot
@@SucculentsBox aloe or my cactus beacause im scares to overwater
Would a self watering pot like a Lechuza Deltini be good for this plant ?
This Haworthia usually doesn't need too much water since it caused root rot easily. So I'm not sure that the self-watering planter is necessary 😅
My haworthia seems healthy and the soil is pretty gritty (I repotted it several weeks ago) but while most of its roots are healthy, some have turned hollow, shriveled and dead. Does this normally happen to healthy plants every once in a while or it shouldn't happen and is preventable?
My concern is that it seems to be losing more that what it is capable of growing
It doesn't look like a normal growing process of Haworthia. The primary cause could be a problem of watering or drainage and low light or exposure to direct sunlight. We suggest you should water your succulent about once a week and make sure the soils dry out between waterings. Also, Haworthia naturally grows in gritty grounds, well-drained soil, indirect sunlight, and infrequent rainfall. You can follow these instructions to help yours thrive better.
What size pot should it be put in full grown?
4 inch and 6 inch pots
I just bought my first ever plant, zebra succulent, and I found out the soil had some soil mites, and I'm not sure if the plant roots are dead or not (they're light brown). I googled how to get rid of the mites and I was told to use soapy water and so I did. I'm afraid the plant will die and I won't be able to take care of it. Any ideas how I can save this?
Hi there, you did your best. Now when you repot the plant, please make sure to spray the new pot and new soil with soapy water to ensure that the soil is not conducive for the soil mites and stop them from coming back
@@SucculentsBox thank you very much! :)
@@victorianas1821 Not at all! Please let us know if you need any help!
@Succulent Box why is my Haworthia turn brown from the bottom of leaves. Also its not growing Like my brothers Haworthia. It's not over watered too.
There are many reasons causing a Haworthia to turn brown. They could be sunburn, strong air currents, low humidity, fertilizer burn, or temperature fluctuations. You can check its surrounding conditions related to above issues to make sure the right reason.
Hope you plant recovers soon 💞
Is it necessary to keep it in a small pot..
Or a medium size pot will be okay?
Hi there, according to our experience, the ideal pot size for succulents should be about 10% wider than the plant itself. If you are looking at shallow or deep pots, always choose the shallow pot. You can read more about it here succulentsbox.com/blogs/blog/choosing-the-right-size-pot-for-your-succulents
My haworthia turning brown
Only water when the soil is totally drain, kept in the indirect light area
What is the reason?
Hi, may I ask what kind of your Haworthia?
If I put pebbles on the soil, would it still grow baby pups?
No it won't! Top dressing can actually bring some benefits to your plant. For more information, you can refer to our blog: succulentsbox.com/blogs/blog/topdressing-for-succulents?_pos=1&_sid=ec6102f05&_ss=r
But what if my cat will push down a haworthia zerbia olant
The one I bought has squishy leaves 😭 I pulled them off and I haven't watered it hopefully that helps
I'm so sorry to hear that 😥 Hope this clip can help yours well.
@@SucculentsBox thank you! 💛
Can you please tell me how often should i water it? What if the soil seems dry & i water it but in actual at the bottom It's still moist? ☹️ i Don't wanna kill it
Hi there, plants use much less water in low-light conditions, resulting in their soil stays wet for much longer after watering. So, if you check the soil and it seems to be dry but is actually moist at the bottom, it's due to the low light. Zebra succulents should be watered when their potting soil has dried out competently, typically watering once every 2 to 3 weeks. Hope this helps
Any tips on why my Haworthia is is closing in on itself? I water when soil is dry deep down, give indirect sunlight and it’s kept inside (summer here outside is 110+, inside we keep it at 80)
Hi there, Zebra closing up might be a sign showing that they've been either underwatered or overwatered. Can you let us know your watering routine?
I water about every other week to ensure I don’t overwater (I have a history of overwatering) Sounds like I should be watering more often?
if so probably your zebra is dehydrated. It could be the heat that makes the water evaporate quickly. You can give it a good soak of water but make sure that you only do this when the soil is completely dry. After all, underwatering is better than overwatering.
In which type of pot it will grow well
There are many options for you to choose. You should go though the pros and cons of the most popular pot materials and make the decision yourself! To help you with this, here is our blog on how to choose the right pot material for your succulents: succulentsbox.com/blogs/blog/choose-the-right-pots-for-your-succulents
Hi, I got my haworthia Zebra last night. I need to repot- is this the right time? As its a winter grower..
It's alright. Newly bought succulents usually come in small, plastic containers, which can hinder their growth. So after bringing home your new baby, you're recommended to transfer them to a different planter within 2 weeks 😎
@@SucculentsBox ok thanks a ton!
Ps - I have got a couple of large plastic planters 4 my succulents.. would that be ok?
@@gursimranchhatwal8026 It's alright, but I think Terracotta Pot is a more ideal option!
@@SucculentsBox yes.. :)
Is my Haworthia dead if the base where the leaves are connected to is already mushy?
Hi Kath, it's the symptom of root rot, overwatering can be the reason. Stop watering until the soil gets dry. Wait for some days to see the plant’s reaction. When the top 2-3 inches feel dry, you can water them again. Within 2-3 weeks, your plant will be back to health. You can also learn more about how to care for Haworthia by reading this blog. succulentsbox.com/blogs/blog/haworthia-zebra-is-the-best-succulent-for-beginner
@@SucculentsBox thanks for your reply! Apparently the whole root system is far from salvation 😔 Have a nice day!
What do they call that water bottle you are using? I need to get a few! I have an attenuata that I have had for probably over 20 years now!
💚🌵🌱👏👏👏💕
Tysm! 💕
Is a shot size succulent of this plant safe to buy? Won't it grow too much and break the shot glass????
Hi there, we don't really understand your question. Are you afraid that the pot is too small for the plant as they're growing bigger?
@@SucculentsBox so there's is this haworthia succulent set up in a shot glass, Its cute and all but yes exactly that's what in asking is that shot glass good for the plant in the long run? How long will it last in it? Won't it break the glass as it grows? Should I go for it?
@@shamsunishayusuff6215 ahh now I know what you mean. So using a shot glass as the container is fine as long as you make sure that it has the right size for your succulent. Please refer to our blog on this topic for more information: succulentsbox.com/blogs/blog/choosing-the-right-size-pot-for-your-succulents?_pos=1&_sid=212693430&_ss=r
@@shamsunishayusuff6215 Also, shot glass does not have drainage hole so you should keep in mind some tips to avoid overwatering. Please check out those tips here: succulentsbox.com/blogs/blog/how-to-take-care-of-succulents-in-a-no-drainage-pot?_pos=1&_sid=0467a3849&_ss=r
When it grows you can move up to a whiskey glass 😄 that is honestly what I do and wineglasses. It looks uhm different but it makes visitors laugh 🌼
My succulent is broken how do I fix it
Can you give us more details so we can figure it out together? If your succulent can no longer spring back to life, you should keep the healthy parts for propagation. Visit this blog for more tips succulentsbox.com/pages/propagation
@@SucculentsBox it just broke it was lose then when I went to fix it the stems of my zebra one broke I'm new to this I think I over watered my plant
My howerthia is dying.. please help..the leaves are loose and falling off..i really dont want it to die
Hi there, can you provide more details? Is your succulent stretching out or growing sideways? Does it feel mushy and soggy when you touch at the leaves?
@@SucculentsBox I will send u pics .. it does feel soggy
And the leaves come off when touched
@@bananithakuria8181 Hi there, it seems like your succulent is suffering from overwatering. In this case, please hold back with your watering, you should repot it if it is needed and make sure you use a fresh new soil mix that drains well.
Can a zebra cactus be revived if it got sunburned?
Every video i have watched about watering a Haworthia never says anything about roughly how much you should be watering, only how often
How much water do you give a Haworthia???
First off, please make sure that all of the soil should be dry before watering again. If the soil is still moist, you risk giving your Haworthia too much water which can make it start to rot. After that, pour water over the soil, for example, put the plant directly under a tap. Continue adding water to the pot until it starts to run out from the drainage holes. When water has stopped running out from the bottom, it's enough 🤩
So where should i put my plant
Hi Kylie, you can display your Zebra plant in a spot where they can get as much natural light as possible, like a south or east-facing windowsill! Hope this clarifies!
@@SucculentsBox
Most Haworthia channels advise to avoid direct sunlight.
@@Mario-xr3jo Hi Mario, they have their points since Zebra can do well in an indoor setting, they can thrive in low light conditions. However, if you want to bring out its stunning red and orange pigments, then you can display them in a spot that they can get natural light like an east-facing windowsill. East-facing windows receive very good light levels and natural sources of heat without either being extreme.
@@SucculentsBox
Red and orange pigments are not natural with Haworthia Fasciata. They are a sign of sunburn. Its natural colour is dark green with white warts.
@@Mario-xr3jo Hi Mario, thank you for your comment. We understand your concern that you're afraid they might get sunburn. Zebra is ideally green and we did mention that they prefer low light conditions in our video. In this thread, we just want to provide an option if you want to stress them a bit to bring out the red and orange pigments by placing them where they can get bright light but not too much. As long as you don't give them direct light, they will do just fine. That's also why we suggested placing them in an east-facing windowsill since east-facing window=bright, indirect light
I got mine two weeks ago and it
Will not open is it dead?
Hi there, the main reasons for Haworthia Zebra closing up are due to incorrect quantities of water, incorrect exposure to sunlight, and exposure to adverse temperatures. Do you think this is your case?
@@SucculentsBox When it came in the mail it was like that
I repot it and it still wont open
It gets. Sun and water
Maybe i need to move it
It's in my sunroom
@@SucculentsBox I got your app
I'm buy from you
I got the zebra plant from Wal-Mart
@@SucculentsBox I moved the zebra plant to full sun it's open a little
Hi Valerie, sorry for our late reply. How is your plant now?
Came back home one day, and when I was watering my haworthia all the leaves fell apart and disassembled
What a pity 😥 Then did you try to save her?
@@SucculentsBox no
My haworthia is 10 inches tall and producing more,babys .all the videos,I find,have small ones less then 5 inches .i used regular soil and let it dry out before watering again .please do a vid with one that is bigger and close to the size I have
Hi there, is your Zebra okay? There're no differences between caring for the small one and the tall one. If you have any specific problems with your plant, please let us know.
@@thedvdblurayreviewguy5161 As we explained, the care guide would be pretty much the same. We don't know if you have any difficulties caring for a big Haworthia Zebra so we asked. Glad that your plant is happy btw.
@@thedvdblurayreviewguy5161 What's wrong with you? It seems like they politely asked to know what exactly you expect to see in a new video that you requested but why you're being so rude??????????? Even not so, is asking about the health of your plant is wrong? If you don't feel comfortable about it you can politely refuse to answer or stay silent.
@@whoru1157 aww I'm sorry you need a safe space
@@SucculentsBox why I asked for you to do a vid with a larger one .some may not know how big these can get .untill I got mine I thought they stayed small like all the videos that people show on youtube.and not one ever said they can get big some people only like small plants and I have saved plants from going to,the trash due to growing past what some people are willing to take care of plants . but I guess that is to hard of a concept to grasp .and has,never crossed your mind either
Not extreme indoor? Ha I don't have AC and temp inside can reach 95+
oh wow that is extreme...
