How to Care for the Plant
Water
Like other succulents, these plants don't need much water. Allow the soil to almost completely dry out between waterings. If the plant gets rainfall outdoors, usually no supplemental watering will be necessary.
Pruning
When taking offsets, use a sharp knife or scissors. Cut as close to the parent plant's stem as you can, including as many roots attached to the offset as possible.
Fertilizer
Fertilize once every spring with a cactus fertilizer. Gasteria plants like a bit more organic matter in their soil than most succulents do, so mixing in a bit of compost at the time of planting can be a good idea.

Sunlight
As a result, the plant tolerates lower light conditions than many other succulents do, making it a good option for a houseplant.
Soil
Gasteria (Gasteria spp.) is a genus of relatively rare, ​aloe-like succulents.
