Haworthia
Haworthiopsis fasciata
A charming small South African succulent (formerly Haworthia, now reclassified as Haworthiopsis) with dark green triangular leaves adorned with white 'pearl' bands that give the common name Zebra Plant. Rarely exceeds 15 cm tall. Tolerates lower light than most succulents — a good pick for less-sunny apartments. Completely pet-safe.
