Haworthia fasciata ‘Big Band’

Haworthia fasciata ‘Big Band’ is a striking succulent, renowned for its distinctive appearance and compact growth habit. This cultivar is a larger, more robust version of the typical Haworthia fasciata, commonly known as the Zebra Plant. ‘Big Band’ forms rosettes of thick, triangular leaves that can reach up to 15-20 cm in diameter, making it an impressive specimen among Haworthias.

The leaves of ‘Big Band’ are dark green and adorned with prominent white, horizontal bands on their outer surfaces, creating a striking zebra-like pattern. The inner faces of the leaves are smooth and unmarked. As the plant matures, it may produce offsets, forming a clumping habit that adds to its ornamental value. In summer, slender flower stalks may emerge, bearing small, tubular white flowers.

Haworthia fasciata ‘Big Band’ thrives in bright, indirect light and well-draining soil. It’s an excellent choice for indoor cultivation, rock gardens, or as a focal point in succulent arrangements. This low-maintenance plant is perfect for both novice and experienced succulent enthusiasts.
