    ‘Apollo’ is an aloe-like succulent with long, rough-textured leaves characterised by white speckling. Being so low-maintenance, Gasteraloe are great house plants for beginners - or anyone with a hectic schedule. They will sometimes produce tubular flowers on extensions that can be up to 50cm long, and in time, they will multiply by creating spreading offshoots at the base of the mother plant.

    Please note that the pot in the photograph is not supplied with the plant (which is sent out in a simple nursery alternative), but we have a wide and wonderful range on our website to choose from.

  • Home care:
    Place your Gasteraloe in a bright spot with plenty of indirect sunlight – a sunny windowsill is ideal. Use a free-draining cactus or succulent compost and ensure the pot has good drainage to prevent root rot.

    Water only when the top few centimetres of compost feel dry, and allow any excess to drain away. In winter, reduce watering to a minimum. Avoid letting the plant sit in water and rotate it occasionally for even growth.
  • Humans/Pets: Harmful if eaten
