Zebra plant (Haworthiopsis fasciata)
Also known as: Zebra Haworthia, Fasciated Haworthia
The zebra plant is a stunning little succulent native to South Africa. It is very similar to Haworthiopsis attenuata, but rarer in cultivation. Because of this, H. attenuata plants are often mislabeled as zebra plant. You can easily differentiate the two by looking at the leaves - if they have a smooth upper surface, then it's zebra plant.
