My zebra plant, along with two small barrel cactus, have survived semi freezing temps in a bush cabin! And brilliant super hot woodland summer sunlight! All 3 doin fine!
Hi, I have this plant too. My plant flowered a while ago and and after flowering, a baby plant grew along the stalk. I don’t see any roots under the baby plant and I am worried the baby plant will die if I cut it off from the mother plant. Any advice?
peri My best advice for now would be to let the plants be together for a while and don’t try to separate them. This will allow better root development for the younger one. Sometimes “pips” or baby plants will still absorb nutrients from the mother plant.
@@ahmadrabbi2275 they do well in partial and full natural light. Water them until it comes out of the bottom of the pot and then dump any extra out of the drip tray if it’s on one. They don’t like wet feet. Then, let the soil dry out completely before watering again. Don’t get the leaves wet. Use cactus soil and not regular potting soil. Keep them between between 60 and 85 degrees.
Bright direct light for at least 6 hours a day? After two days of direct sunlight my Haworthia was heavily sunburnt showing red leaves. Never going to do the same mistake again. Bright dispersed light - OK. But never direct sunlight!
Sorry, looking back at it I think I intended to say bright “indirect” light. Though, I have also grown these in a high-heat greenhouse 80-90 degrees F.
@@growingtolive2383 Thanks for reply. Greenhouse is a totally different thing. With high humidity there, most plants can cope with very high temps. But one thing is high temperature, and another thing is direct sunlight. In a jungle the temperature and humidity are very high but there is little direct sunlight...
Feliciano It can depending on several things. Several different plants have moisture trapped within the closed flower and when it opens it’s going to be wet. It also depends on the humidity of where your plant is placed, how much/often you water and if the soil media you use holds on to water longer. But, in general it’s not a bad thing. Succulents and cacti retain a lot of moisture, so if they’re not in a typical desert habitat, the chance is highly likely that they have excess moisture than they need to survive. So, they might get rid of some through flowers or absorb less through the soil.
Diego P. With my indoor succulents, I used a cactus soil mix. I water once every two weeks and they are only in indirect sunlight. What size is the container they’re in?
Diego P. Ok, so you’ll still stick with the watering every two weeks. The larger the plant, the larger the roots and the more water needed to maintain it. If you don’t have drainage holes, you’ll want to water even less to prevent mildew and fungus growth.
Honey Grace Andong Hi, thanks for reaching out! If the leaves are getting thin and wrinkly it’s most likely a sign of being dry for too long or being over watered. Zebra plants like being more dry, but they need a fast draining dry type of soil. Don’t put sand in the mix. You can buy a cactus soil mix and add extra perlite or vermiculite. If it’s drying too quick, it could also be getting too much direct sun or there’s too much wind/air blowing on it. They like “bright” light but not direct sunlight. East or west facing windows or rooms work well. Keep them away from heater and air conditioning vents. Most succulents and cacti don’t need watered more than once a week, depending on plant and container size. I’m not sure if that was helpful or not.
Hi. Cool video! I’m new at growing succulents, so I’ve been watching about 10 videos every day to learn more and I ask lots of questions. I heard other people say on their videos that it can handle cold temperatures as long as it’s no colder than 40°F. You have 65° lowest temp listed in your video. And many people said that it needs indirect sunlight because in the wild they grow under rocks, trees and bushes for shade. What are your thoughts on this? I think I heard a dog in the background, do you also have a bird?
tmkafer Thanks for your comment! At the time of filming this, I was actually at a family members house. She has a bird and dogs, but the dog featured in this video is mine. Succulents can handle colder than 60-65 degrees, but they don’t like it in a regular basis and it can vary depending on variety. Succulents seem very hardy, and most of the time they are, however some are much hardier than others. The Zebra Haworthia in this video has been placed in direct sun for a while and it got sun burn spots all over it. Most succulents prefer indirect sun. If you have them indoors, indirect sun and watering every two weeks usually works perfect. Along with keeping the temperature in the range I mentioned.
Growing To Live Your dog is adorable. I’ve had birds my entire life and kept hearing a weird noise. I thought it sounded like some birds I’ve either had or been around, like my sisters cockatoo or my cockatiel. ;-)
Hello, i know this is unrelated to the video but may i know why my zebra cactus leaves are closed? Its not spread out just like what is in the video. im kind of worried because its spread out when i first bought it. Hope someone can help me. Thank you in advance!
To get it to bloom? It will need ideal conditions. So you’ll want to research the exact soil acidity, the lighting requirements (which mine was primarily in filtered indoor light), the heat requirements (mine was around 70-75 degrees Fahrenheit). When they start reproducing that typically means they are happy and healthy.
I am so worried 🥺I have mine it’s 3months old and it’s dying.I dunno how to save my baby zebra succulent 😢Those one gave it to me from my mother.I don’t want her to disappoint coz I am so irresponsible for not taking good care of it😞😞help!
Maryjane Leones Let me ask a few question: 1. How often do you water it? 2. How much water do you give it each time? 3. What kind of light is it in/ how long? 4. What is the regular temperature of the area it’s in?
I only watered it once a week. I do spray when I watered it. The light? I only expose it to the light (the sun doesn’t that strong coz it’s winter) with 3-4 hours (coz i have work, I can’t barely let them expose in the outside might someone stole it) .
Maryjane Leones You don’t have to spray it when you water. Make sure when you water it that the soil is mostly dry. If I remember correctly, they love a lot of light. So leave it in a bright, warm windowsill as long as possible. Don’t let it get colder than 55 degrees Fahrenheit.

Mine blooms every year. The flower stalk grows longer each time it blooms.
They have very interesting flowers.
I got one too. Two flowers popped already!
acerb45666555 that’s great news!
Hey there my zebra plant is 1 year old but hasn't grown much but it seems healthy.
What kind of soil, light and heat does it live in?
@@growingtolive2383 I use normal soul with natural fertilizer, tested it in partial shade and full heat too but no difference it just turns its color

have one and its hugh compared to what i been seeing mine is over 7 inches tall with pups just now appearing
Great video where you lived.

Is it normal for the flowers on the stalk to be wet?

I have one too, what type of soil should I plant it in and how often do I water it? mine is an indoor plant by the way

Growing To Live thank you so much! Oh and my succulent is in a medium sized pot, like 11 inches tall and the plant is 4.5 inches tall

Vianca Queen There’s a chance it has been over watered. Feel the soil. If it’s too wet, let it dry before watering again.
What should I do

When they start reproducing that typically means they are happy and healthy.
And it has started flowering but not grown much and no babies
Got any tips for me mines turning yellow...
absorbedsnypa 2 Most likely that’s due to overwatering. Have any of the leaves fallen off or even seem softer than others?
@@growingtolive2383 No I haven't
absorbedsnypa 2 How often do you water?
@@growingtolive2383 a little bit every day
absorbedsnypa 2 Is it outside or inside and how much sunlight does it get?

Growing To Live thank you so much for the info🙏🏻💖
once a week of watering might be too much for it too. i only water mine once a month.
