Don’t you wish we could all look as good as Gasteria Little Warty does with all those white warts? We know we could stomach having several of these in and around the house: on the patio, in a sunroom or near a window in the kitchen or living room. Indeed, this variable hybrid’s warts (tubercles) are little, but they are numerous, on all sides of the leaves, adding tactile drama to this thick-leaved variegated succulent. On that note, no two leaf patterns are the same, or so it seems. The variegation is dark green/light green, with raised silvery green or olive green stripes providing even more textural interest. Clumps easily and plays very nicely in dish gardens with other like-minded succulents. A cross between Gasteria batesiana and Gasteria Old Man Silver.
