I think this plant is Haworthiopsis attenuata, which is way more common than H. fasciata in cultivation. It can be distinguished by the upper surface of the leaves having bumps or ridges on top, and not being smooth like H. fasciata. These plants are frequently confused but attenuata is way more common, and that feature is a sure fire way to tell them apart. I would like to propose moving this image to H. attenuata. Would you be okay with me doing that? Please let me know what you think.

You're most definitely not alone in that respect! Smiling Most of the pictures originally filed in our database under fasciata will probably end up under attenuata. Thanks for getting back to me so fast on this.

Wow it's amazing that you know the difference between the two. I'm a novice when it comes to succulents for the most part. I've managed to keep a few alive. I've learned something new today, thanks Baja. Thumbs up
