This species favours the acidic sands of the fynbos vegetation type, in the area near Port Elizabeth and Uitenhage, in the Eastern Cape, South Africa. The most fundamental distinction, though not externally obvious, is that Haworthiopsis fasciata has fibrous leaves – unlike H. attenuata, but similar to H. glauca, H. coarctata, H. reinwardtii and H. longiana. Unlike H. attenuata, older H. fasciata specimens also sometimes develop long columnal stems. The leaves of H. fasciata are also often stouter and more deltoid. Its white tubercles occur only on the lower (outer) sides of its leaves whereas H. attenuata has roughness or tubercles on both sides of its leaves. However Haworthiopsis fasciata is rare in cultivation, and can easily be distinguished by the smooth upper (ie. fasciata can take quite a lot of water without showing signs of distress. We take a look at 11 golden rules for watering the haworthia. Even so, it all boils down to using the right strategies while at it. The two are therefore frequently confused with each other, and a great many H. attenuata specimens are mislabelled as the rarer H. fasciata. Haworthia may be a resistant plant, but this doesn’t mean it won’t need watering. The species has similar markings to Haworthiopsis attenuata, which is commonly grown as a house plant. The summer flowers appear in October and November, on the end of an inflorescence. At the end of the leaf is a non acute spine. The triangular shaped leaves are green with narrow white crested strips on the outside. The plants are generally small, less than 10 cm (4 in) high. Description Small specimen in cultivation showing the distinctively smooth inner surface of the leaves The species is rare in cultivation most plants that are labelled as H. fasciata are actually Haworthiopsis attenuata. Haworthiopsis fasciata (Zebra Haworthia) is a small rosette-forming succulent with stiff, fleshy, narrowly triangular, dark green leaves bearing attractive. Haworthiopsis fasciata, formerly Haworthia fasciata, is a species of succulent plant from the Eastern Cape Province, South Africa. Haworthiopsis are stemless succulent perennials forming rosettes of thick-skinned, fleshy leaves often with raised white tubercles. Aloe fasciata (Willd.) Salm-Dyck ex Schult.
