About This Plant

Gasteria ‘Little Warty’ is a quirky horticultural hybrid widely documented as a cross between Gasteria batesiana and Gasteria ‘Old Man Silver’. It was created in cultivation by Australian hybridizer David Cumming, while its Gasteria ancestry traces back to southern Africa.

This unusual succulent is known for its thick, firm green leaves covered with raised white tubercles—its little “warts”—along with lighter green striping and textured edges. The hard, almost plastic-looking foliage gives it a fun appearance that stands out from smoother-leaved succulents.

These Haven’s Choice plants have been growing in my care for over 12 months. Each one will have the same recognizable textured look, although the leaf arrangement, markings, fullness and number of offsets may naturally vary.

Why You’ll Love It

  • Thick, bumpy leaves with an unusual textured appearance
  • Compact size works well on desks, shelves and windowsills
  • Easy-care and drought-tolerant
  • Tolerates more shade than many common succulents
  • Slowly produces offsets and becomes fuller with age

How to Keep It Happy

Light: Bright, indirect light or filtered sunlight is ideal. It can tolerate light shade, but avoid harsh afternoon sun that may scorch the foliage.

Water: Allow the potting medium to dry completely between waterings. Water thoroughly, let all excess water drain and reduce watering during cooler or lower-light periods.

Soil: Use a gritty, fast-draining cactus and succulent mix in a container with drainage.

Humidity: Prefers low to average household humidity with good airflow. Additional humidity or misting is not needed.

Temperature: Prefers approximately 55–80°F. Protect from frost, cold drafts and prolonged exposure to temperatures below 50°F.

Current Growing Conditions

Environment: Grown indoors and outdoors and moved seasonally
Humidity: Approximately 25–50%
Current Light: Indirect sunlight
Current Potting Medium: Happy Houseplant Haven’s Cactus & Succulent Mix

This plant may need 7–14 days to acclimate to the light, temperature and humidity in its new home. Some temporary slowing of growth or slight changes in leaf position may occur during the adjustment period.

If moving it into stronger sunlight, increase the exposure gradually to help prevent leaf scorch.

Important Plant Note

Each plant is naturally unique, so the leaf arrangement, striping, raised markings, coloration, fullness and number of offsets may vary slightly.
