Haworthiopsis attenuata 'Lime'

Haworthiopsis attenuata 'Lime' is a cultivar of the Haworthiopsis attenuata, commonly known as the zebra plant. This particular cultivar is prized for its unique lime-green foliage, which sets it apart from the typical dark green and white-striped leaves of the standard variety. Here are some key points about caring for this succulent:

1. Light: Provide bright, indirect sunlight. While it can tolerate some direct sun, too much can scorch the leaves.

2. Watering: Allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings. Overwatering can lead to root rot.

3. Soil: Use a well-draining succulent or cactus mix. Good drainage is crucial to prevent waterlogging.

4. Temperature: Prefers temperatures between 15-27°C. Protect it from frost.

5. Humidity: This plant thrives in low humidity environments, typical of most household conditions.

6. Fertilizing: Feed sparingly with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer diluted to half strength during the growing season (spring and summer).

7. Propagation: Can be propagated by offsets or leaf cuttings. Allow cuttings to callous over before planting.

8. Pests: Generally pest-resistant, but watch out for common succulent pests like mealybugs and aphids.

**Note**: This plant is relatively low-maintenance, making it an excellent choice for beginners and a stylish addition to any succulent collection.
