Does not require regular feeding, however, you can fertilizer with a cactus fertilizer once a year to keep it looking it's best.
Repot your cactus during the warm season. Take out the plant when the soil is completely dried out. Place the cactus in a new planter and fill it up with a succulent soil mix, spreading the roots out. Let your plant dry out and recover for a couple of days. After some time, you can begin with watering gradually and placing it in a sunny spot.
Cleaning should be minimal, remove any decaying parts as needed.
To propagate, remove one of the stems from the cactus and set it aside for 24 - 48 hours allowing the base to callous. Pot the pad in a container filled with a well-draining potting mix and place it in a location that receives a few hours of direct sunlight each day. Wait to water the new plant until a few weeks have passed to ensure that roots have begun to sprout.

Haworthia Fasciata Care Guide
Indoors, Zebra Haworthia care is easy, as this succulent is hardy and low-maintenance. Check our expert growing tips below to ensure your Variegated Haworthia looks beautiful and strong.
Watering and Humidity
Water your Variegated Zebra Haworthia Succulent when the soil is completely dry (usually twice a month). Consider seasonal changes, light, and humidity, and adjust your watering routine accordingly. Overwatering your plant can lead to root rot and soft leaves. This stunning succulent grows best in relatively low humidity (40-50%).
Light and Temperature
Provide your Variegated Zebra Haworthia with several hours of direct sunlight daily to promote optimal growth and blooming. It thrives in warm temperatures, ranging from 65°F to 95°F. Protect it from the scorching sun on hot summer afternoons to prevent sunburn.
Soil, Feeding, and Repotting
Haworthia fasciata variegata requires well-draining soil to thrive. Don’t overfertilize this plant; use diluted fertilizer at half strength and feed only during the active growing season. Repot every 3 years or when your succulent outgrows its pot. Remember that the Haworthia Zebra plant likes to be slightly root-bound and grows best in shallow pots.
Propagation
Haworthia propagation is simple. Take a healthy stem cutting with a sharp, sterilized tool and leave it to dry and callous for about 24 hours. Then, plant in a pot with fresh, well-draining potting mix. Place the cutting in direct sunlight and water sparingly after a week or so. This prevents rotting issues with the emerging, fragile roots.
Common Problems
With the right Haworthia Zebra plant care, you’ll minimize common issues, such as pests, yellow leaves from overwatering, or dull variegation due to insufficient light. This succulent doesn’t require pruning. Just remove damaged leaves to keep it neat.
