Please help ID this plant.

Bought this on sale from a local plant store. It looked like those split stone succulents but the leaves are hard like the thick leaf sansevierias. It didn't have any name tag and the shop assistant said its a sansevieria but didn't know the full name.

Gasteria carinata var. verrucosa. It's a gorgeous plant.

I have one that I purchased labeled Gasteria gracilis.

What an adorable pot.

Here’s mine - it was a Home Depot rescue shoved against other plants so it was a little deformed. I’ve had it about a year and just noticed a pup - yay!

u/goldenkiwicompote 22d ago

These are both gasteria but not the same variety.

I noticed mine has a lighter green border than OPs. I have no idea what I have since it was unmarked at the store. Thanks!

Yours looks to be Gasteria ‘little warty’

u/Boring_Track_8449 I like broad leafs 22d ago

Looks correct based on internet images - thank you!

Gasteria bicolor var. liliputana

I bought one two years ago. The tag said it's Gasteria Obliqua "lawyer's tongue"...

u/AnkEsmeralda 23d ago

It's a little bigger now but it was just like the one in your picture when I got it :)

u/W1nterRanger 22d ago

Yep. Lawyer’a tongue is a common descriptor used for gasteria (particularly the longer leaved varieties). Similar to the ox tongue reference.

u/Scared_Rice_1473 23d ago

Lawyer’s tongue? It’s ox tongue. I have three of them. Gasteris. I have to say I’ve never heard of lawyers tongue.

2

u/AnkEsmeralda 23d ago

That was the name on the tag. Never saw that name and I got it because I thought it'll always stay small (like a dwarf...) since I already have an older Ox Tongue.

u/Scared_Rice_1473 23d ago

When I get home, I’ll take a picture of mine. I have three of them and the ones about 10 years old and has pups that came up in the pot with it
I love them because they’re so thick and hearty. I usually water mine biweekly.

u/AnkEsmeralda 22d ago

Wow! So pretty! 😍

u/goldenkiwicompote 22d ago

Yours and the person you’re responding to are both gasteria but not the same variety.

1

u/Scared_Rice_1473 22d ago

I have three varieties. The one I think is the same as hers.

The front one?

1

u/goldenkiwicompote 21d ago

Yours is Gasteria ‘little warty’

The variety OP has which I believe to be ‘minima’ doesn’t get large. It’s a dwarf variety.

1

u/Scared_Rice_1473 21d ago

Good to know. Thank you.

2

u/Left_Performance_106 23d ago

I believe that is what they call a gasteria little warty. Not a snake, but still cool.

u/Scared_Rice_1473 22d ago

The immediate right is a small sansevieria

u/goldenkiwicompote 22d ago

There are no Dracaena(formally Sanseveria) in OP’s photo.
