Gasteria ‘Little Warty’

Gasteria 'Little Warty', a hybrid created by Australian hybridizer David Cumming, is a diminutive succulent formed by a cross between Gasteria batesiana and Gasteria 'Old Man Silver'. This unique plant produces charming rosettes of thick, pointed green leaves adorned with delicate pale green stripes and raised edges, along with tiny white bumps. Its growth is slow, and as it matures, it produces offsets and forms a small cluster, reaching a height of 8 inches (20 cm) and a width of 6 inches (15 cm). Its unusual appearance, reminiscent of plastic, is due to its white and green coloration.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR ROOTING CUTTINGS
Insert the cutting into the soil to a depth of 1 inch. When the soil is dry, water the plant sparingly. Roots should form within two weeks. Keep the plant in bright shade during the rooting period. To prevent the leaves from getting burnt, gradually acclimate the plant to outdoor conditions or full sun.
