This is a Haworthiopsis attenuata or a Zebra Haworthia. These succulents are very aloe like and often mistaken for them (I have on the past, a lot). The name comes from the zebra stripes across the leaves of the plant. Confusingly there is also H. fasciata which is also a Zebra Haworthia however they have smoother inner sides to their leaves and attenuata have the white tubercles on both sides. . . . These are hardy succulents which like quick draining soil and lots of light, though not scoring direct sunlight. If looked after well they will propagate and form clumps of plants like they do in the wild. They like lots of water in the summer but less the rest of the year and you should avoid over-watering and keep the soil fairly dry between watering. All being well they should flower in November and December. . . . Botany lesson over, the pot is white clay, hand thrown with lots of glaze to give that shiny pearlescent look. This is one of the plants/pots combinations I will have @etsyuk made local in Canterbury in December. . . . #thrownandgrown #canterbury #etsy #craft #craftfair #pottery #ceramics #plants #glaze #etsymadelocal #succulents #haworthia
