About Gasteria Gracilis f variegata
Gasteria Gracilis f variegata is a succulent of the Asphodelaceae family, native to South Africa. It is characterized by distichous leaves (in two rows) with warts or marbling, an evolutionary adaptation that makes it a unique piece in the world of succulents.
We grow Gasteria Gracilis f variegata at Succulentae, in the heart of the Almería desert, where the dry Mediterranean climate replicates the ideal conditions for the plant to develop its compact form and best coloration. This produces stronger specimens, with intense coloration and compact form, ready to join your collection.
