Gasteria is a genus of succulent plants belonging to the Asphodelaceae family. Gasteria prefer a partially shaded to bright location. They thrive in filtered or indirect light rather than direct sunlight. Place them near an east or west facing window where they will benefit from moderate light. Avoid exposing them to intense direct sunlight, as this can cause burns on the leaves. Gasteria have moderate watering needs. It is recommended to take a “let it dry” approach for these plants. Wait until the soil is completely dry between waterings to prevent root rot. In general, watering every 1 to 2 weeks is often appropriate, but this can vary depending on environmental conditions. During the winter months, when the plant is in a dormant period, reduce watering.
