ProRep Live plant. Gasteria “little warty” (Medium)
General Information: Gasteria “little warty” is a slow-growing succulent that is simple to propagate by removing offsets from the base of the plant. It is a great choice for beginners looking to add unique plants to their collection or decor to the desert terrarium.
Gasterias are another desert succulent which can be used in a dry terrarium. They have paired, smooth leaves which gives them a unique appearance and can be planted in combination with other succulents for a dramatic effect, particularly when planted among rocks.
Like most desert plants Gasteria needs bright lighting, and a free draining soil but this species will tolerate some shade. Although drought tolerant they prefer to be watered as the soil dries out, but before they are completely dry. Unless the terrarium is set up with a deep, bio-active substrate then plants is a dry terrarium are best kept in their pot, which is then disguised with substrate and decor.
This allows the plants to be watered as necessary without making the whole substrate too damp.
Apart from the aesthetic appeal of a planted terrarium there are some very real, tangible benefits for the animals. Living plants provide natural cover and climbing perches, shade, basking sites and maintain natural humidity. Just as live plants in an office can improve workers well-being, live plants in a terrarium will have the same effect for animals.
