Care Guide
Gasteria prefer semi-shaded conditions and don’t like lots of sun. Keep these succulents under at least 40-60% shade cloth. They need a soil mix that allows for water to drain freely, as their roots don’t like wet conditions. Use plenty of Akadama and Pumice. Water them well throughout the year, but make sure to give a bit more during the growing season when it’s cooler.
