I just got a zebra haworthia a few days ago but noticed it got a bit burnt under my grow lights that I use for my other succulents. So, I moved it to its own shelf with a slightly weaker grow light, but now it looks a little sad and lonely. I placed a limifolia next to it, but it still feels empty. I don't want to deprive any plants of light since my other shelves are full. I've seen mixed reviews about jade plants' light needs, too. Also, does anyone have insights on what affects the tightness of haworthiopsis rosettes—is it related to light?

I’ve had success with snake plants in the same light as my Haworthias. The bird's nest varieties, especially the golden hahnii, are really cool and can thrive there too! They're hardy and look great, so they could be a good choice for your shelf.
If you want a good companion for your zebra, I’d recommend H. Truncata. It would look great next to it! You might also consider small tongue-form gasterias, as they tend to do well in similar light conditions. Euphorbias like E. Francoisii or Decaryi can also handle lower light, so they'd make another option to consider!
If you want something different, consider adding Fenestraria rhopalophylla ‘Baby Toes.’ They have unique appearances and should fit in well with your zebra haworthia while enjoying similar light levels!
