Baja_Costero (Baja California - Zone 11b) on Nov 19, 2022 9:47 PM concerning plant:
Dark green to brown rosette succulent with fine raised whitish bumps on the leaves. Mostly solitary, though it may branch by division of the growth center or by axillary branching (sometimes triggered by damage to the growth center). Easy to start from cuttings when available.
In direct sun the color tends darker and more toward brown. Best (most compact) form in strong light. Flowers are somewhat oblique and orangey pink, with pale greenish mouths and exserted stamens. In low light the flowers may lose a lot of their color.
Said to be a hybrid of Aloe haworthioides and Gasteria carinata. Final pot size about 6 inches. A long lived, relatively short stemmed plant. Apparently sterile. xGasteraloe 'Tarantula' is a sport of this plant.
