This blog is dedicated to plants from desert regions around the world as well as plants that have adapted to withstand arid conditions, but do not occur in real deserts. Many of the plants are found in arid semi-desert regions. There will be a greater emphasis on succulent plants, but others will also be included. This blog deals with desert plants of the Americas, Africa, Arabia and others. We are situated in South Africa and South African plants are likely to feature more dominantly. The pictures taken are from our private botanical desert garden at Leopoort near Oudtshoorn, from plants in nature, as well as other collections.

Gasteria croucheri is part of the coastal and midland flora of the Transkei and Kwa-Zulu Natal.

It is an attractive and large growing Gasteria with lanceolate and triangular leaves.
Plants of the southern coastal areas that were earlier regarded as Gasteria croucheri are now considered to be Gasteria acinacifolia.

The flowering time is from October to January.

The cultivation of Gasteria croucheri is easy. The plants like a well drained soil. Propagation is from seed or leaf cuttings.
