Product Details
Highlights
Gasteria nigricans f. monstrose (now G. brachyphylla): A wonderfully weird Gasteria with funky, swollen leaves. It has a blue-green tone and the leaves are matte and smooth. This variety can show copper and purple stress colors when exposed to direct sun. The leaves also show angular facets from the pressure of adjacent leaves. It is easy to grow and gradually forms an interesting clump.
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.
