With its slender, elongated leaves decorated in striking white stripes, this is the iconic "hard-leaved Haworthia" that most people first picture. As a foliage plant, Haworthia is especially popular, and it's commonly paired with glass or kanzui-ishi (white decorative pebbles)—you'll often see pots arranged like the one in the DETAIL image (though that one features a variegated variety). Interestingly, it's also frequently mistaken for the closely related H. attenuata , as the two look quite similar. The main difference? Take a peek at the underside of the leaves: if you see stripes there too, that's the key. It's widely believed that plants sold as "Jūni-no-maki" are actually H. attenuata .

The slim, elongated leaves cloaked in crisp white stripes make this a true icon among so-called "hard-leaved Haworthias". But, in fact, it's often confused with its close relative, H. attenuata . Spotting the difference is simple: H. attenuata has stripe patterns on both the outside and the inside faces of its leaves, while H. fasciata has smooth, unmarked undersides. Interestingly, as a cultivated plant, H. fasciata is actually considered quite "rare".
So, although the scientific name you often see attached to Jūni-no-maki (the quintessential hard-leaved Haworthia) is typically this one, the prevailing theory is that "Jūni-no-maki" is in fact a cultivated form of attenuata H. attenuata .
Recently, this group known as "hard-leaved Haworthia" has actually been reclassified under a separate genus, Haworthiopsis.
You might even wonder, "How could I possibly kill this plant?" That's how tough it is! (Of course, all bets are off if you drench it in constant direct sunlight or water it heavily every single day.) Hard-leaved Haworthias don't show much change in appearance, so one time I kept missing the right moment to water and ended up barely watering it from late spring through winter—the lower leaves shriveled and dried out, and the whole plant took on a dull, lifeless color... I was sure I'd lost it. But when I nervously gave it some water, within days it bounced back and unfurled fresh, lush, green leaves. At that moment, I thought, "These guys are indestructible!"
If their environment is good, they'll grow quickly. But even if they don't seem to grow, move, or their color turns reddish-brown, they stubbornly hang in there without dying. Be patient and enjoy the journey together.
