Gasteria vlokii quick care tips

Watering

Gasteria vlokii is a drought-tolerant succulent variety, so watering around once per week in the peak growing season is advised. Ensure the soil dries between waterings following the 3 Ds: drench, drain and dry. It is also advised to completely stop watering when conditions are frosty, keeping the plant dry for several months at a time over winter.

Feeding

Gasteria vlokii likes to be fed to bring out its best forms and colours. We recommend feeding with a liquid seaweed feed every 2 weeks in the main growing season from April to September. A feed we recommend is the one from our friends at LittleGreenSeaweed.

Ideal soil

Gasteria vlokii needs free draining soil to thrive. We recommend a mixture of 1/3 John Innes no.2, 1/3 perlite and 1/3 coconut coir. The soil mix we offer here is similar in composition to this.

Gasteria vlokii

Native to South Africa Gasteria vlokii grows in a low growing form, as the leaves elongate, they tend to fold downwards towards the ground. In early spring they produce a tall pink flower spike boasting a delight of multiple pink green flowers. The leaves of the Gasteria vlokii have hundreds of tiny white specs dotted all over, the texture is rough but pleasant to touch.

We grow ours in quite high light levels giving the plant this orange hue, but they can be grown in lower light such as an east or west-facing windowsill. If grown in lower light the leaves grow larger and greener but hold onto the white dots.
