Botanical Name:Gasteria 'Little Warty' | Common Names: Little Warty Ox Tongue, Ox Tongue Plant
About This Plant
Don’t let the name fool you — the Gasteria 'Little Warty' is one of the most charming and characterful small succulents you can grow. This compact, low-growing plant forms tight rosettes of thick, fleshy, gray-green leaves, each one studded with distinctive white warts or bands that give it a wonderfully textured, almost prehistoric appearance. It’s a slow-growing gem that thrives in lower light conditions where many other succulents struggle — making it perfect for desks, shelves, and windowsills that don’t get full sun.
Why You'll Love It
Unique texture — white warty bumps and bands on each leaf create a striking, one-of-a-kind look
Low-light tolerant — one of the few succulents that genuinely thrives in lower light conditions
Compact size — stays small and tidy, perfect for small spaces, desks, and shelves
Beginner-friendly — slow-growing and very forgiving; hard to overwater compared to most succulents
Care at a Glance
Light: Bright indirect light to partial shade; avoid harsh direct sun

Your plants deserve better than a box from a warehouse.

Alocasia Variegated Frydek Brandie Perry
The plant did not arrive in great shape. However, it was an alocasia and I did not add insulation so this is not on the seller (and we all know alocasia does not travel well anddddd they come back)
From start to finish the transaction was amazing. They gave me a discount for my next order even though I didn't ask for one because I knew the risks, and they continued to answer my questions and help me! Will def order again from them and would encourage others to as well!
