Gasterias - few need ID

7 years ago
last modified: 7 years ago

In July, I have poted up number of divisions of Gasteria 'Little warty' and another one I am not quite sure of correct name. Here is photo of unknown to me 'mama' plant and some of the offsets. Most leaves are approx. 2-4" long, but there are few that are 6" and bit over. Leaves are not very wide, mostly 1/2 to 3/4" wide. Any suggestions pls?


All offsets/divisions have survived, and every single pot is growing offsets too - not very clear in above photo, but they are growing. Seems to be prolific pupper :)

ETA: suggestion for the proper ID pls :)

    Oh, sorry! Suggestion for a proper name, lol...

  • 7 years ago

    It's all good :) Probably the regular Gasteria maculata.

  • 7 years ago

    I thought it could be Gasteria bicolor - according to World of succulents, G. maculata is a synonym:

    Great, now what are you going to do with all the pants? Garden Club?

    There isn't Garden Club around where I live that I know of. Maybe in closest city but I never checked. So I am not sure what I'll do with them. Some will be given as gifts, some may be traded, and rest - will see.

    Hahaha I know the feeling!

    At one point I did the same thing, and had about 50 Sansevieria subspicata - I ended up giving them ALL away, and funnily enough, I need one for my collection, and can't find one for the life of me. The message to my story is; keep one! :)

    There is another one I would like ID for. Here is photo, including close-up of bumpy/rough leaf surface. It is quite large plant, mature leaves atr just under on just over 7" long. They are quite wide, approx. 2.5", and quite hard. The pup grew sinceI got it, it seems to be relatively slow grower.

    I thought maybe G. verrucosa, but many photos of it show more pointy leaves.


  • 7 years ago

    How 'bout a pic?

    I also like G. glomerata.

    Surprisingly, I don't have one Gasteria at the moment! Oh, except for Gasteraloe Iceberg, if that counts.

    Having problem uploading pic! That is because I was bragging about posting without problems...

    Finally- here it is.

  • 7 years ago

    Hahaha!

    I no longer can upload pics from the computer directly - so I have to upload pics to houzz first, and then, from there, on here. Ugh!

  • 7 years ago

    I also have glomerata, it is much smaller than one above:


  • 7 years ago

    Yes very cute :)

  • 7 years ago

    Silent

    Can you post photo of Gasteraloe Iceberg pls?

  • 7 years ago

    Hahahaha I knew that was coming. I know you're asking, because it's hard to do so. ;) ;)

    Coming up...

    Thank you :)

    I have something similar - is it or isn't? I do not have ID:


  • 7 years ago

    What you have is beautiful, and is called Green Ice.

    Silent

    Thank you. What is the main difference? Is there more white/whitish-blue color on yours or? Here is photo from another angle:


  • 7 years ago

    A friend gave these to me - (I'm keeping one for myself) - I had never seen them before, but I see Green Ice regularly at our box stores - Green Ice is more green on green whereas the Iceberg is more silvery white with a tiny bit of green.

    I should get one, and photograph them side by side.

    You're an enabler! :)

    Just as most ppl here, lol.

    Thank you for the chat and the photos...now I need to findID for he large gasteria :)

  • 7 years ago

    I am $5 poorer - thanks to you!

    Just ran out to Home Depot and found a Gasteria Little Warty. Darn you! :)

    I am curious - may I see yours?

    As for the big one - G. batesiana, without seeing a picture maybe ?

  • 7 years ago

    Silent

    Congrats on the new one! That was easy and really fast, lol.

    Here are couple of bigger pots - some other gasterias and gasteraloes while they were still outside, Sept. 2nd:

    Couple of pots of divisions potted in July + bigger divisions of the first one I asked about + Aloe juvenna - pic taken Oct. 3rd:

    BTW, pic for 'big' one posted (2x) upthread...

  • 7 years ago

    Wow - didn't know you were quite the collector. :) Thank you! :)

    Could you please point out the one that needs a name? And, could you point out which one is the little warty? (Third from left, bottom, of the last picture perhaps?)


    rina_Ontario,Canada 5a thanked The Silent Seed

    Here is the "big" NoID, and 2 pots of Little warty; these are 6" pots:

    (also 2 pots on right in last pic of previous post; those are 4" pots)

  • 7 years ago

    Thank you!

    The big one looks like G. carinata verrucosa. What do you think?

    Thank you.

    That is what I named my file, but wasn't sure ("G. verrucosa-maybe")! So I was on the right track, possibly...What is confusing is that most photos show plant with more pointy leaves than mine.

    Does your Little warty look similar to my photos?

  • 7 years ago

    You're very welcome! And the pictures I see have rounded leaf edges just like yours.

    Yes; my Little Warty looks like yours - I'll post a picture when I take one - this weekend probably. Now I want to find another Green Ice and put it side by side with my Icebergs. The Green Ice more resembles, in coloration, the Little Warty, if that makes sense.

    Best, Jude

    Got to go one at a time. Having some problems with photo loading.
    Gasteraloe 'Little Warty'.

    Gasteria 'Frosty'.

    Slowest growing. Just now has one tiny pup forming. Others are monsters.

    No pictures this year but last year's.



    Gets large but very slow growing.

    Stush

    I was waiting for all the names - Thank you very much. Great gasterias.

    I have a question: are these, by any chance, reversed? I could be wrong, but I think that what you have as Gasteraloe 'Green Ice' is rather Gasteria 'Sakura Fuji' and vice-versa. OR, what is ID-ed as Gasteraloe 'Green Ice' is maybe Gasteria??? - leaves look to me like gasteria leaves. Just wondering:



  • 7 years ago

    Here's a picture of Sakura Fuji when I first bought it.



    Thank you Rina,

    Looking over the past, I think your right. I must have mixed up the tags when re-potting. Making me look back, it seems that Sakura Fuji regressed over the years instead of increasing. I must be doing something wrong.

    Stush

    Thank you, I was just looking at the leaves, and wasn't sure if right or wrong.

    I have few gasterias - here is the group photo again with names/IDs as helped by Silent Seed - do you think you could comment?

    There are 2 more I am not sure about - one is circled in red and another circled in yellow. Plant circled in red has smaller and smooth leaves - probably quite common. Maybe G. bicolor var. liliputiana?

    I have ID-ed plant circled in yellow as "maybe G. Silver Fuji/Sakura Fuji or G. satsu satsu nomatsu". BUT I am not sure which one/if either is correct:


  • 7 years ago

    Stush, I knew you'd pop up on here! Both of you have gorgeous collections, which is dangerously inspiring me. :)

    The plant in the latest picture, labeled Green Ice, is the one that I recognize as Green Ice.

    The other two - I have seen the red one before, but don't recall the name. The white one - no idea.

    Last night I did also see another potential Gasteraloe - very smooth leaves, with small widely-spaced teeth. The whole plant was very dark green, and the leaves were channeled. Didn't want to get it without a name. I also saw Gasteraloe Green Gold.

    My friend has sent me pieces of leaves that had rooted and produced pups. I didn't realize you could do that with these.


  • 7 years ago

    Tried to post and just disappeared again.

    Rina, I think your right about that being liliputiana. With sun stress it does turn reddish.
