Gasteria Batesiana-130mm

Gasteria batesiana – Compact South African Succulent with Textured Charm

Add unique texture and character to your succulent collection with Gasteria batesiana, a petite gem native to the rugged landscapes of South Africa’s Eastern Cape. Known for its thick, leathery, triangular leaves patterned with striking spots and stripes, this small but sculptural succulent fits perfectly in tight spaces—from windowsills and terrariums to mixed succulent arrangements.

Its slow-growing, neat rosettes showcase finely toothed leaf edges, creating an eye-catching textured appearance. In late winter to early spring, slender flower spikes emerge, bearing tubular pink to red blooms that attract nectar-loving birds in its native habitat.

Why Gasteria batesiana is a Must-Have:

• Distinctive Textured Foliage – Thick, triangular leaves with mottled green patterns and toothed edges

Care Guidelines:
