Gasteria Pillansii

Description

Highlights
Gasteria pillansii ssp. pillansii (Kensit): An easy to grow succulent with unusual, tongue-shaped leaves. Each leaf is firm, forest green, and dotted with many pearl white spots. This plant is stemless but the foliage can grow up to 8.0″ long at maturity. It can produce lots of offsets and form a substantial 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.
