    Succulent Gasteria Durban

    Botanical Name: Gasteria spp. 'Durban'
    Common Name(s): Durban Gasteria, Gasteria 'Durban'

    The Gasteria Durban is a striking succulent that belongs to the Gasteria genus, native to South Africa. Known for its thick, fleshy, and attractive leaves, this cultivar is a popular choice among succulent enthusiasts for both its aesthetic appeal and ease of care. The leaves of Gasteria Durban are typically dark green, often mottled with lighter green or white spots, giving them a textured and eye-catching appearance. They are arranged in rosettes that form compact, low-growing clumps, with leaves that can curve slightly inward or outward depending on the plant's growth stage.

    One of the notable features of this plant is its ability to tolerate low light conditions, making it an excellent choice for indoor gardening. The Gasteria Durban can also tolerate a variety of environmental conditions, from direct sunlight to partial shade. However, it thrives best in bright, indirect light. The plant grows slowly, usually reaching about 6 to 12 inches (15 to 30 cm) in height, with a similar spread, making it a perfect addition to windowsills, desks, or low-maintenance container gardens.

    In the spring and summer, this succulent may produce long, slender flower spikes that are topped with tubular flowers. These flowers are typically orange or red and can appear in clusters, offering a pop of color that contrasts beautifully with the plant's green leaves. The blooms, while not as showy as the leaves, add an extra layer of charm to the succulent.

    The Gasteria Durban is a highly drought-tolerant plant, thanks to its thick leaves that store water. It should be watered sparingly, allowing the soil to dry out completely between waterings. Overwatering can cause root rot, so it's essential to ensure the plant is in well-draining soil. A cactus or succulent mix is ideal, or you can amend regular potting soil with sand or perlite to improve drainage. If growing this plant in a pot, always choose one with drainage holes to allow excess water to escape.

    Note: The Gasteria 'Durban' is generally non-toxic to pets, making it a safe choice for households with curious animals. However, like all succulents, it's best to keep them out of reach of pets to avoid potential issues with chewing or ingestion.

    Care Insights & Expert Tips

    Sunlight

    Bright, indirect light: This plant prefers plenty of light, and in most cases the full direct sun to grow and maintain its fresh vegetation. 

    Water

    Water once every 2-3 weeks: Water every 2-3 weeks or when the soil feels dry to the touch. The Prickly Pear can store water in its leaves for extended periods of time. Water every 4-6 weeks in the fall and winter months.

    Temperature

    Warm temperatures: This plant prefer temperatures between 65-80°F (18-27°C) in the growing months with low to moderate humidity. Avoid sudden fluctuations in temperature or any condition less than 50°F. 

      1. Flower in the Summer: In the spring and summer, this succulent may produce long, slender flower spikes that are topped with tubular orange or red flowers.
      2. Pruning when need: Pruning is generally not necessary unless you need to remove dead pads or control the size of the plant.
      3. Succulent/Cactus Mix: For this succulent, a well-draining succulent soil mix is preferred as this soil mimics a dry desert environment. 
      4. Repot every 2-3 years: Repot every 2-3 years or when the plant becomes too large for its container.
      5. Handle with Care: This cactus is covered in spines that can cause painful injuries. Use thick gloves when handling them.
      6. Propagates easily: This cactus can be easily propagated by cutting off stem pads (cladodes) and allowing it to dry and callus for a few days before planting it in well-draining soil.

For these instances, once each item is shipped, you'll receive individual tracking information for each package, so you can easily track their progress.

      Where do you ship?

      Do you offer same-day or next-day delivery?
