The Haworthia belongs to the Aloaceae family and can be categorized as a cactus and a succulent. It is sometimes grown for it's evergreen foliage with big white bands, resembling a Zebra. The Haworthia is drought tolerant and excellent for xeriscaping but does need to be watered regularly. It can also be used in containers, which is how I have mine planted, and they multiply every year. Plant propagation consists of dividing rhizomes, tubers, corms bulbs or offsets.
