Haworthiopsis fasciata 'Big Band'

Haworthiopsis fasciata 'Big Band' is a compact rosette succulent with firm dark green leaves and broad raised white bands. The markings sit mainly on the outer leaf surfaces as textured tubercles, giving the rosette a bold zebra-striped pattern while the inner leaf surfaces stay comparatively plain.

'Big Band' is grown for wider white striping, firm triangular leaves and tight rosette growth. The raised bands are most noticeable on the outer leaf surfaces, while mature plants may slowly form offsets around the base.

Haworthiopsis fasciata 'Big Band' leaf features

  • Rosette form: Thick pointed leaves grow in a tight, upright rosette.
  • Leaf markings: Raised white tubercles form broad bands mainly across the outer leaf surfaces.
  • Inner surface: The inner leaf faces are usually greener and less banded than the outer sides.
  • Growth speed: Slow-growing and compact, with offsets possible as the plant matures.
  • Native range: The species is native to South Africa’s southern Cape region.
  • Plant family: A member of Asphodelaceae, the aloe family.

Haworthiopsis fasciata background and rosette growth

Haworthiopsis fasciata was transferred from Haworthia to Haworthiopsis; its basionym is Apicra fasciata. The species grows as a small succulent subshrub in the subtropical biome of South Africa’s southern Cape region.

Its firm epidermis, water-storing leaves and raised tubercles suit a small rosette adapted to drying intervals and an airy root zone. In a pot, the plant needs bright filtered light, a gritty root zone and full drying between waterings.

Care for Haworthiopsis fasciata 'Big Band'

  • Light: Provide bright indirect light with gentle morning or late-day sun. Increase direct sun gradually after transport or lower-light conditions.
  • Watering: Water thoroughly during active growth, then let the substrate dry fully before watering again. Use longer dry intervals when light and warmth are lower.
  • Humidity: Average indoor humidity is suitable. Airflow and a dry crown are more important than high humidity.
  • Substrate: Use a gritty cactus or succulent mix with pumice, lava rock, coarse sand or other mineral components for root aeration.
  • Temperature: Keep frost-free, ideally above 12 °C. Avoid cold, wet substrate around the fine roots.
  • Pot choice: Use a small pot with drainage holes; oversized pots stay wet too long for the root system.
  • Repotting: Repot only when offsets crowd the pot, roots have filled the container or the substrate has broken down.
  • Placement: Place the rosette in a bright position where water cannot sit in the crown and the pot can dry evenly.
  • Feeding: Feed lightly during active growth with a dilute succulent fertiliser. Heavy feeding can soften the leaves and stretch the rosette.
  • Growth rate: Slow indoors, with gradual leaf production and offset formation when light, warmth and root health are stable.
  • Pruning and grooming: Remove dry old leaves from the base so debris does not trap moisture around offsets or shelter pests.
  • Propagation: Offsets can be separated once they have their own roots. Let any damaged tissue dry before potting into a mineral mix.
  • Semi-hydro and mineral substrates: Mineral substrates can work when oxygen stays high and the root zone dries between waterings. Constantly wet reservoirs are risky for this small succulent.

Common issues with Haworthiopsis fasciata 'Big Band'

  • Soft leaves: Check for overwatering, poor drainage or cold damp substrate around the roots.
  • Root loss: A loose rosette, repeated leaf shrinkage or poor rehydration can follow root damage after overwatering.
  • Stretching rosette: Increase light gradually if the plant becomes taller, more open or weaker at the centre.
  • Sun stress: Pale, bleached, reddish or brown patches can follow abrupt exposure to stronger direct sun.
  • Brown tips: Review watering gaps, root health, heat, mineral salt buildup and sun intensity if leaf tips dry back.
  • Mealybugs: Check between leaves, around offsets and near the base, where pests can hide in tight rosette growth.
  • Scale insects: Inspect older leaves and the base for small fixed bumps, especially on crowded plants.
  • Crown debris: Dead leaves trapped at the base can hold moisture and shelter pests. Remove them gently during routine checks.

Handling and safety

Haworthiopsis fasciata 'Big Band' has firm pointed leaves and is generally treated as a low-risk houseplant, but chewing any plant can cause irritation or stomach upset. Keep it away from pets and children that chew plants, remove dead leaves from the base and handle offsets gently so the fine roots stay intact.

Botanical name background of Haworthiopsis fasciata 'Big Band'

Haworthiopsis fasciata (Willd.) G.D.Rowley was published in Alsterworthia International, Special Issue 10: 4 in 2013. Its basionym, Apicra fasciata Willd., was published in Magazin für die neuesten Entdeckungen in der gesamten Naturkunde der Gesellschaft Naturforschender Freunde zu Berlin 5: 272 in 1811. Haworthiopsis means Haworthia-like, reflecting the genus’s relationship and resemblance to Haworthia. The species epithet fasciata means banded, referring to the transverse white markings on the leaves. 'Big Band' plants are selected in cultivation for broader white banding.

Haworthiopsis fasciata 'Big Band' stays compact in bright, fast-draining conditions and slowly develops offsets around its banded rosette.

Need lots of connectivity + charging. EXCELLENT.
Color: Gray
Problems with my original USB hub required something better. This unit has allowed me to connect all my peripherals to my laptop and I haven't had any problems with the USB port reliability I was dealing with. I'm using two hubs in series and now everything is working perfectly.

Yes, I wish I'd bought this on Black Friday, but still no regrets
Color: Gray
If you use a lot of add-ons like I do you won't regret buying this hub. The number of connection PLUS high power charging ports works for me. Printer, scanner, mouse dongle, phone, tablet, external drive, flash key all connect with zero problems to my Win 11 laptop. Saves my laptop ports from wear and provides a central location for charging my stuff. Solid metal construction, touch switches for each port, even slots forSDd and micro sd cards makes great design and features. Had a decent usb 3 hub but this one SO much better, good value

well made, nicely built, fast and everything fits firmly
Color: Gray
Sleek and well made, heavier than my old one, as it seems better built in every way. I love the flush power buttons, they don't get accidentally pushed in because of the firmness of the buttons, not hard, just not overly easy like some cheaper hubs. The color is nice looking, the lights are subtle but easily identify each port and the main thing, it's fast. My old USB hub was decidedly slow and often under-powered. It did not always work with some demanding devices. But as soon as I plugged this in, all my devices were recognized and worked correctly. This was a great buy.

Had some questions and needed to test it, here's the verdict!
Color: Black
No pictures, but I wished to get this review out as soon as possible because I'm very happy with my purchase. My last USB hub from aother brand broke immediately as soon as I got it which is why I wanted to purchase this as an "upgrade" for the higher voltage and more port options. Firstly I really appreciate that they gave both a USB 3.0 to USB-C and a USB-C to USB-C cable for the power depending on what type of port you have on your computer. The extra cable is always appreciated. I had a bunch of questions stemming from other reviews so I tested them. When you press a button nearby any port, the light goes on. When you hold it, it goes off. When the light is on, it powered my external drive, and when I hold-pressed it off, the drive on my computer disappeared as it should when no power is going to it. I'm glad that works perfectly. Also, it takes 16 seconds to recognize my 8TB drive. It seems a tiny bit long, but not too long, I'm pretty patient. For the SD and Micro SD card slot, there is no on and off power buttons. But they DO work. This was important for me as it was one of the reasons I bought it. The quick charging also works as intended. Also, I wondered what size it was- it's 8.75in long, 2in width, and a measly 0.65in heightwise. Every cord included is slightly larger than 3ft so there should be no problems with connecting it, though maybe it's too many wires for some. One thing I was concerned about was that a reviewer said the ports were very tight, and they are. I thought I was gonna break the ports by connecting a USB, but thankfully it didn't break. I don't know how realiable that is over time, though I imagine because of the buttons, the idea is to connect them once and if you want to not use it, to simply press the button to turn them off. So I think I'll do that once I get all my USBs set into place. If it breaks any port in that process down the line, I'll update my review. And based on the manual, here are the speeds: USB 3.0 & USB C - Max 5GB/sec data speed, Max 5V/1.5A power SD and Micro SD Slots - Read 50-104MB/sec, Write 30-80MB/sec (Subject to memory card speed and computer USB ports) USB QC Ports - No speed or power given Total power supply: Output DC 12V/7.5A (Input AC 100V~240V / 50Hz~60Hz / 2A) The power supply is a big brick LOL. But I appreciate the power, thanks. It's very easy to use overall, I just plug something in, turn the light on, expect it to work and it does. Besides it taking great force to plug a USB in, everything else is exactly what I wanted. Glad I bought this. Edit, a month or two later: The USB ports all still are working, but I noticed some external drives don't have enough power to work, even with the 8V, so I'm docking a point. I should be able to plug at least one in with a few other things connected, but this makes it a little less functional for my usage.

Just what I needed
Color: Black
Never given!give 5 stars. But, this got it because exceeded what I was expecting. Purchased because new computer slots were inconvenient and more new devices are using usb ports and having powered ports was essential. Have used for several months and keep finding more things needing it. It was more than I expected/needed at the time .But, was designed for growth I was not expecting. Getting excellent connections, speed, and reliability even though I’ve nearly doubled the devices I planned on using. To be clear the system I connected to is all about performance and top of the line hardware. I was a performance engineer in a previous position and am very picky with this system setup. I’ve tested the hardware several times tuning things and it’s never the bottleneck. The original purchase was intended as a short term fix when I needed something yesterday and as stated b4 it has earned a place in my permanent setup. Would buy again and would explore other offerings by manufacture.
