Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Why does my gasteria have Propagation?
Cause: Gasteria species propagate readily from both stem cuttings (offsets/pups) and leaf cuttings. Their thick, succulent tissues store ample water and nutrients to support new root development. This adaptation allows them to reproduce vegetatively when growing conditions are favorable, creating genetic clones of the parent plant.
Solution: 1. For stem cuttings: Remove offsets (pups) that grow at the base using a clean, sharp knife
Prevention: Propagate during spring or fall for best success; ensure cutting tools are sterilized with alcohol; avoid propagating in high humidity which promotes fungal issues; provide bright indirect light but not direct sun until roots establish; do not overwater new cuttings - underwatering is safer than overwatering
