Ox Tongue
Gasteria thrives both as an indoor plant and in the outdoor garden if these main care requirements are met.
Choose a spot that gets plenty of light but not direct sunlight.
Bring indoor potted gasteria outdoors and place in light shade for the summer.
Provide shelter from rainfall as these plants don't react well to direct water on leaves.
Plant in conditions that drain well as good drainage is key to this plant's health.
Light
These plants appreciate bright light but not harsh and direct sun. Protect them from hot afternoon sunlight. White or yellow leaves can signify that the plant is getting too much sun.
Soil
For container plantings, use a cactus potting mix or another fast-draining potting soil mixed with a few handfuls of sand. For garden plantings, somewhat sandy soils with a pH of around 6 to 7 are best to provide sufficient drainage.
Water
Like other succulents, these plants don't need much water. Allow the soil to almost completely dry out between waterings. If the plant gets rainfall outdoors, usually no supplemental watering will be necessary
