Caring for your Gasteria hybrid
 
Pot: Gasteria hybrids does best as container plants due to their slow nature. Do not over-pot your Gasteria. They like to grow in smaller containers, and the plants are also more compact.
 
Soil: The plants prefer a well drained soil, a mixture of sandy soil with some organic matter
 
Light: The brighter the light, the more colourful your plant. Gasteria hybrids can grow in shady to brighter conditions. However, they are more compact and colourful when bright light is given. Avoid direct sunlight if the plant is not used to it.
 
Water: Gasteria hybrid plants like to be watered every two weeks in summer and reduced in winter. Your plant should dry out for a few days between watering. Over-watering can cause the leaves to burst and crack along the length.
