Gasteraloe 'Flow'

‘Flow’ is a Gasteraloe, an intergeneric hybrid between Gasteria verrucosa and Aloe. It has distinctive, thick and oblong leaves covered with white wart-like protrusions and that is typical to Gasteria verrucosa species. They can be propagated by off-sets and cuttings. They are also commonly propagated by seed. Germination usually occurs within 8 days but may take as long as one month, depending on the species. In colder climates, it is treated as a Houseplant. They come in many varieties, some of which flower. They cannot survive in temperatures below 10c/55f.

Propagation

From Early Spring TO Late Winter

To propagate by leaf cuttings, remove a leaf and let it lie for about one month (e.g. in a cool window sill), giving the wound time to heal. Then lay the leaf on its side with the basal part buried in the soil. This leaf should root within a month or two, and small plants will form at the leaf base. Young plants can be harvested the following season. They can also grown from seed. Seed should be sown during summer in sandy well drained soil and preferably protected from full sun. The seedlings are slow growing and can be planted out in small containers when they are large enough to handle. The soil should preferably be enriched with compost. They react very well to a liquid organic fertilizer.

 

Planting young plants

From Early Spring TO Late Summer

Gasteria need light shade to shade, but will take full sun part of the day. (with some sun exposure the leaf develops a nice reddish tint and remain compact) They are tolerant of a wide range of soils and habitats, but prefer a very porous potting mix to increase drainage.
