Further information on your plant
All plants are measured from the bottom of the nursery pot to the tip of the plant and if a height is specified, this is an approximate height, not set in stone. As all plants are living things, they will vary in size throughout the year, and we do our best to give a guide as to the size you can expect. If in doubt drop us an email hello@leafculture.co.uk. And lastly, minor flaws in leaves might be present and will not be covered for compensation. It's worth noting that plants naturally age like people and are rarely perfect.
Gasteraloe is a hybrid succulent plant that is a cross between two popular species: Aloe and Gasteria. It combines the characteristics and appearances of both parent plants, making it an attractive and unique addition to any succulent collection.
Native to South Africa, it's a slow-growing plant that can reach up to 12 inches tall and wide but it would take many years to achieve this sort of size. The leaves are thick and fleshy, and they are green with white flecks making them eye-catching. If you're lucky and the conditions you offer are suitable, they will flower - they are typically vibrant shades of red, orange, yellow, or pink and a real treat.
Gasteraloe is very easy to care for but here are a few tips:
Aloe Aveo prefers bright, indirect sunlight. This means they can live on a window ledge if it doesn’t get too much daytime sunlight.
Water Gasteraloe when the soil is dry to the touch. Be careful not to overwater, as this can lead to root rot (the most common reason plants perish)
Gasteraloe rarely needs repotting. Only repot the plant when it outgrows its current pot and check the roots are really filling up the pot before repotting
Gasteraloe is not susceptible to many pests or diseases due to the texture of its leaves - another reason it’s very popular with plant lovers.
In summary, Gasteraloe is a charming little plant, that is super easy to keep and given the right conditions will flower.
