Highlights
Gasteria carinata f/ Swellendam (Duval): An easy to grow houseplant with fun, textured foliage. This low, clumping succulent has green, tongue-shaped leaves covered with raised white bumps or "tubercles". It can send up a tall bloom stalk from which dangle tubular, coral flowers. This form from Swellendam, South Africa tends to have longer, broader leaves.
Gasteria have low light and water requirements. They are one of the best types of succulents to grow indoors because they can tolerate low light conditions and still maintain their form and colors. Plant Gasteria in deep pots with drainage holes as they grow deep roots and will not tolerate standing water. Use a gritty, well-draining soil and water deeply, but only when the soil is fully dry. Protect from frost.
