FAQ
How often should I water my zebra haworthia?

Haworthias can survive in a variety of climates, but for optimal growth and blooming, they should be kept in a warm, dry environment with indirect sunlight or partial shade. Temperatures between 75 and 90°F are ideal, and while they can tolerate lower-light locations, they will benefit from exposure to bright indirect light.
