Description

The listing, Live Plant - "Zebra Striped," Mature (fully grown) Hawthornia - attenuata has ended.

The first (2) photos above are of the exact same plant from different perspectives. The third is of the babies I auctioned last week and are no longer for auction. However, the adult I will send you will make pups of its own which you can auction yourself while keeping the adult to produce. It is a type of succulent/cacti and has no thorns. Looks like a miniature Agave mixed with an Aloe with horizontal Zebra stripes. The plants total height is around 4". It is best kept in a window and unlike most succulents the Zebra striped Hawthornia does not like too much heat and prefers to be watered only when the soil has dried.
