| Home Page | Gasteria contains about 20 species of South African succulents related to the Aloes. The flowers have a characteristic shape, and their shape is very important in the classification of Gasterias. The name Gasteria comes from the Latine for 'stomach', and refers to the shape of the flower. When trying to identify a Gasteria, it is important to notice that juvenile Gasterias have very different shapes and colors from the adult specimens. Most gasterias tolerate low light levels, and can be used as house plants.
Propagation is mostly by offsets, and leaf cuttings. A large percentage of the Gasterias in the nursery trade are probably hybrids of uncertain origin.
