Gasteria Carinata var Verrucosa

Gasteria Carinata var Verrucosa is a wonderfully textured and characterful succulent — a compact rosette of thick, tongue-shaped leaves in deep green, densely covered in raised white tubercles that create a beautifully rough, warty surface texture. She is bold, tactile and utterly distinctive.

Known as the Ox Tongue plant for her long, tongue-shaped leaves, Gasteria Carinata var Verrucosa is one of the most shade-tolerant succulents available — thriving in lower light conditions that would leave most succulents struggling. Her robust constitution and striking texture make her a standout addition to any succulent collection or indoor plant display.
