Why You'll Love Gasteria batesiana:

• Distinctive Foliage
  Forms neat rosettes of fleshy, triangular leaves, typically pale green with darker green spots, stripes, or mottling. The finely toothed leaf edges add to its textured charm.

• Petite & Versatile
  With a mature height of just 10–15 cm, it’s ideal for small containers, windowsills, terrariums, or tucked into mixed succulent arrangements.

• Seasonal Blooms
  In late winter to early spring, it sends up a slender flower spike with tubular pink to red blossoms, a favorite among nectar-seeking birds in its native habitat.

• Indoor-Friendly
  Thrives in bright, indirect light and adapts well to life indoors—making it a low-maintenance, high-impact addition to your home or office.

Care Instructions:

• Light: Prefers bright, indirect sunlight; protect from harsh afternoon sun.

• Water: Allow soil to dry out completely between waterings. Water sparingly in cooler months.

• Soil: Use a well-draining cactus or succulent mix.

• Temperature: Best suited to moderate temperatures; protect from frost.
