Allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings. Overwatering is the most common cause of problems. Water thoroughly until water drains from the bottom, then allow excess to escape.

Reduce watering significantly in winter when the plant is dormant.

Pruning is minimal for Haworthia fasciata. Remove any dead or dried leaves at the base of the plant to maintain tidiness and prevent potential rot.

This can be done with clean, sharp scissors or a knife at any time of year.

Propagate by offsets (pups) that grow around the base of the mother plant. Gently separate a well-established offset from the parent plant, ensuring it has some roots.

Allow the cut end to callous over for a day or two before planting in well-draining succulent soil.

Repot your Zebra Plant every 2-3 years, or when it outgrows its current container. Choose a pot with drainage holes and use a gritty, well-draining potting mix formulated for succulents.

Repot in spring or early summer for best results.
