    Please help. I've been trying for years to identify both of these plants. I want to buy replacements because I killed both by over watering them. I think the one on the left is in the Haworthia family but I cannot find the name and the one on the right I have no idea at all. Help please? Thank you.

    I don't know the names, but they are both Haworthia's. I have one similar to the one in the right photo.

    Where did you puchase them from? I've searched through a number of Haworthia sites but can't find either of them there. Any suggestions? Thanks.

    I didn't purchase the one I have, it was given to me.

    The succulent on the left with the stripes might be, Haworthia fasciata aka (Zebra Plant)
    There is a bunch of different haworthias like you have on ebay. I'll see the zebra ones now and then for sale at Lowe's, also try looking in Home Depot, Walmart, or you could try an indoor plant nursery, especially one that sells cactus and succulents.

    Thanks. I'm really interested in knowing the exact name of the one on the right - I call it the crawler because once the stalk grows past 3 inches it falls over and crawls. I loved that plant so much that I over-mothered it and killed it with too much water. The plant store I bought it from couldnt even identify it. I was hoping someone here could.

    Wow! Thanks. I'll comb through it. Hopefully my crawling cacti will be in there somewhere. Thanks again! I'll report back if I find it.

    Left one is a Haworthia reinwardtii possibly a cross. The one on the right could be a Haworthia chloracantha. Might help, I'm sure of the one on the left, let me know if you find different for the one on the right as I have both at home.

    You're a dear! I will. I certainly will. I can't wait to get home so I can surf the web and find it! God bless you! Is the one on the right you have larger than mine? Just curious as to how big the plant can grow. Thanks.

    Mine's shorter and more clumped, but that's because I cut the leggy bits off and let it re-shoot ;}

    I googled it and it wasn't a Haworthia chloracantha. I guess I'll just keep searching...

    I wasn't sure as there are a few cultivars with that name. I'll have another look into it myself and see what I can find. I didn't label it at home so it's another excuse to check it out :}
