This is one of the most popular species of Gasteria in cultivation, because its leaf form and coloration is so striking and because of its large inflorescence. It is a highly variable species with many cultivars distinguished on the basis of leaf color and amount and color of the tubercles. The clone ‘Pongola‘ is the largest form of the species and is from near the town of Pongola. These plants are rooted offsets in 5-inch pots.
