Thank you so much!

Agreed, lower right is specifically Haworthia attenuata. Left looks to be Crassula ovata.

Are we sure it's not a H. fasciata? Sorry still new and they look a lot a like. I thought fasciata had smoother, fatter leaves facing center and had a more stacked columnar growth.

Nicholas - Good question. H. fasciata has tubercles only on one side of the leaves so a closer second photo may be required. Also has a difference in the fibrous aspect of the leaves.

Of what I've seen, most Haworthias of these types are quite 'closed up' and look a bit taller in the 1.5" plug size. As they grow larger to the 2.5" or larger size their leaves spread out.

In addition, H. fasciata is a fairly rare plant while H. attenuata is very common in stores (of course, that is not necessarily a good basis for ID).

Thank you Eww, I love learning new stuff and this forum is great for that. :)

I know my variegated attenuata was labeled fasciata, but I'm certain that was mislabeled because there is nothing columnar about it.

No problem! It's better to question an ID and have other suggestions in case someone is wrong! Here are my sources for finding the distinguishing characteristics of Haworthia fasciata:

• Haworthia fasciata on Llifle
• Haworthia fasciata on wikipedia

Also found some good reference images here. And a good article from 1974 by Bruce Bayer.

More stuff to read :) Thank you, it's so hard to sort out the truth from the crap on the internet. There are only a few sites that I've found that I trust.
