This is the largest gasteria species, they can get to over 2'X2' easy, 3'x3' or large is possible!
They hail from Madagascar as opposed to Africa.
They reliably bloom for me once they reach about 1.5' tall.
Most gasteria form leaves opposite from one another, long, flat, spotted tongues :p
This one is no different when young, as it matures, it's leaves become very thick, triangled, erect, very smooth and eventually the leaves begin to grow in a whorl or spiral.
When mature they resemble an agave from the profile, but are distinctly different, I don't know of any plant quite like them, certainly unlike any other gasteria I've seen
I have several pups I can part with, mostly small pups around 4" across, I also have 2 very large leaves that can produce a vast amount of pups, they root very easily and are speedy robust growers for gasteria.
I'll add pics of mine soon but there's plenty of pics on line, I think in the database here too :D
I'm mostly interested in swapping for some small succulents, haworthia are at the top of the list!
Also Elephant ears.
Weird stuff, big leaves, I'm open to suggestion... Let me know what you have!
Thanks!
