Succulent Gasteria Durban

Gasteria ‘Durban’ 🌿 has thick, pointed leaves with raised texture and pale speckling that give it a bold, sculptural look without needing much space. It does best in bright indirect light indoors or a spot with a little gentle morning sun, making it a great fit for desks, windowsills, and smaller shelves. This is an easy, low-fuss succulent that handles missed waterings much better than soggy soil. Pro tip: when in doubt, wait a little longer before watering 🚰—fully dry soil is much safer than overdoing it.
