Neighbor's Zebra Cactus

While watering my neighbor's flowers over the weekend, I noticed this pretty cactus on his deck. The tag was in the pot identifying the name as Zebra Haworthia. Zebra Plant or Zebra Cactus is definitely one of the best houseplants. These succulents are great for indoors and bright window sills. I researched it and found it is an easy succulent to grow. I think his wife used to keep hers indoors. They do well inside or out with sunlight.

I've never done well with succulents. I always overwater them.

That is why I enjoy them, not much maintenance at all. This one could be divided.

You couldn't water them too much here. We can't even get a case of bottled water.

They are so easy. I will ask for one of these. They need to be divided.

I never had any luck with a cactus indoors, they wouldn't survive. I'm not good with plants of any kinds!

@CarolDM I do not see a zebra, why is it called a zebra plant? I am glad it is easy to grow.

This is the first time I see a cactus like this, the color is interesting, is this a mini cactus, because it is suitable for indoor?

All cacti are suitable for indoors, with the right light actually. It will grow to about 5 inches tall.

@CarolDM for a one of this size it does suit the good lighting, I think it will grow to over 59 inches because my neighbor's cactus is so big he planted it in his garden

@ladyhero It depends on the type of cactus. This type doesn't grow that big.

We have in India a plant called 'Money Plant', an indoor plant, which is said to attract money to the house in which it is.
