Gasteria carinata quick care tips

Watering

Gasteria carinata 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 carinata 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 carinata 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 carinata

Also known as the ‘Keeled Ox Tongue’. A slow growing deep-green plant with white speckles, as it ages, it turns a nice red-earth colour with a nice texture. This species uses a clumping technique and offsets from the base. A very compact plant. The flowers are light-pink with green stripes in the centre and can grow up to 4cm long.
