Plant-A-Day 2020 (Day 193) Gasteria “Marble Hybrid”

This plant doesn’t lend itself to my usual flora descriptors–it isn’t pretty, really, or graceful, or colorful. Words that do apply are solid, sculptural, forgiving, interesting, and permanent. I’m a big fan of plants in the Gasteria family because they are different. I believe this plant was purchased about ten years ago from City People’s on Madison. It has bloomed, but not regularly.

In 2020, I plan to put this plant in new soil and feed it a bit more and hope for flowers next year and maybe some offsets.
