Botanical Name: Gasteria Gracilis
Common Name: Ox or Lawyer's Tongue
Country of Origin: South Africa
The Gasteria Gracillis is a beautiful, relatively rare, aloe-like succulent. The long leaves have a rough texture and that's why they have the common name of "ox tongue". They have an interesting snowy white pattern on dark green leaves and bloom curvy flowers in late winter to early spring. Gasterias are slow-growing succulents that need lower intensity, indirect light, making them perfect for indoor growth. Pots sold separately.
