How to Grow and Care
Haworthiopsis Attenuata ‘Zebra Plant’ do best in areas that receive plenty of bright filtered light. They can tolerate low lighting conditions but bright indirect light is ideal. They can also tolerate full sun but needs to be slowly acclimated to prevent burning the plant.
If kept outdoors, place in a bright location away from intense sunlight or full sun. They do best with morning light which is less intense than afternoon sun. Before moving the plant outdoors or increasing the amount of sunlight it receives, it is better to acclimate the plant to help prevent sunburn or sun damage. Slowly increase the amount of sunlight it receives until it is fully acclimated to the sun.Keep in mind that even when the plant is already acclimated to full sun, it can still get sunburned during a heatwave or intense heat.... – See more at:How to Grow and Care for Zebra Plants
