Gasteria batesiana(Rowley
"knoppies-beestong"
These are reported to be popular among traditional healers. they're believed to have the magical power of transferring their camouflage properties, provided by the mottled leaves which blend in so well with the surrounding vegetation, to humans who wash with the leaves. As always, however, our plants are sold for their aesthetic qualities and we cannot recommend them for this purpose. They're slow growers but grow to a ripe old age with ease. Not a difficult plant to grow.
