Haworthiopsis coarctata
About Haworthiopsis coarctata
These tiny succulents are native to Southern Africa, but now grow in homes around the world! Since they're adapted to harsh, dry cliamtes, their succulent leaves store water during the dry season. They also use a special form of photosynthesis that helps them retain water by only exchanging gases at night! 🌌

Why does he look like this? This is my zebra plant. He is in the same pot I got him in and has grown a bit but not opened up. Is he unhealthy or just an introvert?

I’ve had my succulent for over a year now and he’s no looking to hot. Any advice? It’s a zebra haworthia, I had one a while ago and it died from overwatering so I’ve made sure to not over water. Maybe it needs repotted but I thought that they like their roots being more tight idk.. #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #SucculentSquad #SucculentLove #Succulents #ZebraHaworthiopsis

I didn’t know they did this

Wy are the leaves half yellow

So this got knocked around and came out of the soil. Is it salvageable? #FairyWashboard

Is this normal? I noticed these shriveled leaves and gently tugged. One came out immediately, another took a bit more pressure but still came off pretty easily and then I spotted a third (middle pic) before I pulled it, I wanted to make sure it was normal. The base almost looks reddish/brown. Not much experience with succulents so I’m not sure whether this is normal or if I would be concerned. He’s currently in the peat mix he came home in, but he was root bound so I put him in a bigger pot (without breaking up the roots or the peat mix) after a month and backfilled with a succulent/bonsai mix. I water when he feels feather-light and he’s currently in a west facing windowsill. #HappyPlants #SucculentLove #FairyWashboard
