🌿 What Makes Gasteria Special?

From thick, speckled leaves to rare, star-shaped cultivars, Gasteria offers a wide variety of species and hybrids, each with its own personality and charm.

🪴 Effortless Care
Gasteria thrives with minimal effort, making it a go-to choice for both seasoned succulent lovers and first-time plant parents.

Gasteria Care Guide

• Light: Prefers bright, indirect light or partial shade. Can tolerate low light better than many other succulents.

• Watering: Water thoroughly when the soil is completely dry. Reduce watering in winter when the plant goes semi-dormant.

• Soil: Use a well-draining cactus or succulent mix to prevent root rot.

• Temperature: Best in average indoor temperatures (60–80°F / 15–27°C). Protect from frost and excessive heat.

Why You'll Love It:

• Great for Collectors: A must-have for enthusiasts who appreciate rare and unusual succulents.

• Perfect for Small Spaces: Compact growth makes it ideal for indoor gardens, apartments, or desk decor.

• Naturally Resilient: Gasteria is drought-tolerant, forgiving, and resistant to many common houseplant issues.

• Visually Fascinating: A conversation starter thanks to its exotic appearance and sculptural form.
