  • Gasteraloe beguinii (often called the Lizard Tail or Gonzo Aloe) is a fascinating intergeneric hybrid between Gasteria aristata and Aloe variegata. It forms a dense, symmetrical rosette of triangular, deep-green leaves. The foliage is tough and textured, covered in white raised spots (tubercles) and edged with small, harmless "teeth" that give it its reptilian nickname.

    As a hybrid, this plant was developed in cultivation to capture the extreme hardiness of Gasteria and the structural beauty of Aloe. Its parent species are both native to South Africa, specifically the arid scrublands where they have adapted to survive on very little water. 

    The blooms of the Lizard Tail are a highlight of the spring season. It produces tall, slender racemes featuring tubular, bi-colored flowers—usually a vibrant coral-pink or orange at the base with a greenish tip. The flowers have the characteristic "stomach" shape inherited from its Gasteria parent, making them a favorite for hummingbirds in outdoor settings.

  •  Bright Indirect Light. It can handle some direct morning sun, but excessive afternoon sun may turn the leaves a reddish-bronze "stress" color.

    Well-Draining Cactus Mix. Prefers a gritty substrate with perlite or pumice to prevent moisture from sitting around the roots.

    The "Soak and Dry" Method. Water deeply only when the soil is completely dry. This plant is highly drought-tolerant and sensitive to overwatering.

  • 9 to 11. Best kept as a houseplant or in a frost-free patio area.
  • Hand-Packed with Care: Using recyclable wraps and crinkle paper, we ensure every succulent arrives healthy and in perfect condition.

    🌵 For Succulents
    When your package arrives, you may notice a bit of loose soil in the box. This is completely normal during shipping.
    Please remove your plants from their packaging right away and follow the care instructions included with your order. Succulents prefer to dry out between waterings, so only water when the soil is completely dry.
    Succulents are resilient plants and typically recover quickly once they settle into their new environment. Give them a few days to adjust before placing them in direct sunlight, and avoid fertilizing right away.
    *** We pack carefully to protect each plant during transit, so larger orders may arrive in multiple packages
