Gasteria verrucosa – Textured Ox Tongue Succulent

Gasteria carinata var. verrucosa (commonly sold as Gasteria verrucosa) is a hardy, slow-growing succulent known for its raised white tubercles and arching strap-like leaves. Its textured surface gives it a tactile, sculptural look that stands out in any indoor plant collection.

This variety features long, dark green leaves covered in distinctive raised white bumps. Unlike smooth-leaved succulents, the texture is visible and touchable, making it a great choice for collectors who appreciate structural detail.

Distinctive Raised White Texture

The wart-like tubercles are the defining feature of this species. The white bumps contrast against the deep green leaves and become more pronounced in bright, indirect light.

Compact, Slow-Growing Succulent

Gasteria verrucosa grows at a steady, manageable pace. It forms a loose rosette with arching leaves, making it ideal for small pots, shelves, or windowsills.

Low-Maintenance Indoor Plant

This succulent tolerates lower light conditions better than many Aloes and thrives indoors with minimal care. It’s well suited to beginners or anyone wanting a resilient plant that doesn’t demand constant attention.

Easy-Care Guide

• Light: Bright indirect light is ideal. Can tolerate lower light but growth may slow.
• Water: Allow soil to dry out between waterings.
• Soil: Free-draining cactus or succulent mix.
• Humidity: Prefers dry indoor conditions.

Shipping

This plant will be sent in its plastic growing pot. We only ship plants to non-quarantine states (sorry sorry WA, TAS and NT residents). Shipping of plants is capped at $15.00 per order. This includes the packing materials and labour times. We use recycled packing where possible to reduce our waste and keep cost down, but we ensure that all packing material is sturdy enough to resist damage during transit. If no one is home to receive your order, the parcel will be left in a safe place. We will not request signature on delivery, as parcels sent back to the post office may not get picked up for days, therefore increasing the amount of stress placed on the plant(s) inside. This plant can also be picked up from the Northern Wellbeing Centre; 113C miller st, Epping VIC.
