Details
The Zebra Plant (*Haworthiopsis attenuata*) is a compact succulent known for its raised white bands and striking texture. It brings a unique, architectural touch to dry or arid reptile enclosures while staying small and tidy.
These plants are incredibly low maintenance and do well in sandy, well‐draining substrates. Their compact size makes them suitable for smaller terrariums, and they tolerate the dry conditions preferred by desert‐dwelling reptiles. Available in Small and Medium sizes.
