Looking for a low-maintenance succulent that can add some charm to your indoor or outdoor space? Look no further than the ox tongue plant, also known as Gasteria carinata var. verrucosa!  

The Gasteria carinata 'verrucosa' is commonly referred to as ox tongue due to the shape and texture of its leaves. The leaves of this plant are thick, fleshy, and elongated, resembling the tongue of an ox. Additionally, the rough and warty surface of the leaves further contributes to its resemblance to an ox's tongue, which gives its names warty aloe, wart Gasteria, Keeled oxtongue, and Bredasdorp Gasteria.    

Hailing all the way from South Africa, it has thick, fleshy leaves that grow in a rosette with raised warts or bumps. With its dull green leaves adorned with white spots, it knows how to make a statement. These leaves can grow up to 12 inches long and 12 inches wide at the base, giving them a bold presence.  

With their lovely orange-pink flowers that bloom in early spring, they are like a burst of fireworks and easy-to-care-for. These Gasteria flowers appear in simple racemes but might surprise you by adding some small branches here and there for an unexpected twist. This slow-growing succulent plant is sure to be a hit with both experienced gardeners and beginners alike. 

These ox tongue plants are non-toxic for both humans and pets and can be propagated easily by offsets or stem cuttings. So, whether you're an avid green thumb or just looking for a new addition to your collection, read on to learn more about the ox tongue plant! 

Watering Needs 

Often, people worry they aren't giving their ox tongue plants enough water when in reality they are over-watering them. This is especially the case with succulents Gasteria as they don't do well in moist soil which can result in root rot.  

It's best to wait until the top two inches of soil are completely dry before watering. Watch out for signs of dehydration such as a pale discoloration and shriveled stem indicating that the succulent is consuming its interior water supply. Besides hydrating correctly, it's also crucial to ensure that the potting soil drains quickly to avoid damaging cactus roots.

As drought-tolerant plants, the ox tongue can thrive with less frequent watering, and if you forget to water them for a month or more, they will probably survive just fine.  

Light Requirement 

The ox tongue Gasteria plant is a really versatile plant when it comes to light requirements. It can thrive in a variety of different light levels, from full sun to partial shade. However, it's important to be mindful of the intensity of the light - if it is exposed to direct sunlight for too long, it can actually burn the leaves. So, if you're planning on keeping your ox tongue in a sunny spot, make sure that it's getting some shade during the hottest parts of the day. 

If you're not sure what kind of lighting conditions your ox tongue plant needs, you can always observe the leaves. If the leaves are starting to turn brown or yellow, it might be a sign that your Gasteria ox tongue is getting too much sunlight. On the other hand, if the leaves are starting to stretch out or become pale, it might be a sign that it isn't getting enough light.

Optimal Soil & Fertilizer Needs 

 The ox tongue plant prefers well-draining soil that allows water to flow through easily. If the soil is too dense or compact, it can hold onto water for too long and cause root rot. To help ensure that your ox tongue plants are getting the right amount of water, you might want to consider using a succulent soil mix, which is specifically designed for plants like the ox tongue.

Ideally, you want to use our specialized succulent potting mix, opens in a new tab that contains 5 natural substrates and organic mycorrhizae to promote the development of a strong root system that helps your succulent to thrive. 

When it comes to fertilizer for your ox tongue plant, use a balanced natural fertilizer with an equal ratio of NPK (5-10-5) that's formulated for succulents. You can apply the fertilizer once a year during the growing season in the spring and then stop fertilizing altogether during the winter months.

Make sure to follow the manufacturer's instructions carefully, as over-fertilizing can be just as harmful to the plant as under-fertilizing. 

Hardiness Zone & More 

As desert dwellers, the Gasteria plants enjoy hot temperatures. They prefer constant temperatures above 70 degrees Fahrenheit and can tolerate triple digits in the summer, so don't worry if your succulents get too hot.  

These ox tongue plants, on the other hand, cannot handle frost, cold, or freezing temperatures, so make sure it doesn't get below 45 

degrees Fahrenheit in its environment.  If grown outdoors this Gasteria Verrucosa’ grows best in USDA zone 9-11. 

Give this succulent Gasteria carinata 'verrucosa' a try if you're looking for an easy plant to care for!

Great product!
Color: Black, Size: 2 Pack
This was a great buy! It's sturdy, easy to install (I used the sticky pads), and works just as described. It created so much room in that spice cabinet - and I can finally easily find what I'm looking for. The price was great too: two sturdy slide-out racks for $20. Would highly recommend.

Wonderful organization for cabinets
Color: Black, Size: 3 Pack
Organizer wonderful for cabinets in kitchen and bath. Used in kitchen first for spices. did not use screws, just the adhesive so we didn't damage the cabinet. They slide easily and makes all spices easily accessible. Bought more for the bath room and use them for vitamins, over the counter meds and prescription meds. works like a dream and makes the cabinet very organized. Cannot put too large of containers on bottom of the organizer and perhaps top ( depending on height of your shelves ) easy installation

Great way to organize spices and save space
Color: Black, Size: 3 Pack, Color: Black, Size: 3 Pack
This pull-out spice rack organizer has been a great addition to my kitchen. It fits well in the cabinet and makes it much easier to see and access all of my spices instead of digging through cluttered shelves. Each tier holds a good number of jars, and the sliding mechanism works smoothly. The racks feel sturdy, and installation was straightforward with the included hardware. I like that it keeps everything upright and organized, and the black finish looks clean and modern inside the cabinet. Overall, this set does exactly what it’s meant to do and makes cooking more efficient. If you have the cabinet space for it, it’s a very practical and well-designed organizer.

Pleasantly surprised!
Color: Black, Size: 2 Pack, Color: Black, Size: 2 Pack
I am pleasantly surprised with these little racks! They were easy to assemble and install. I used the sticky tape which seems quite secure. I put them all the way to the back of my cabinet and they pull out far enough to see what I have! They are attractive enough and the organization they afford is paramount!

Nice sliding spice organizer - easy to install
Color: Clear, Size: 2 Pack
This is a nice, solid sliding spice organizer. It's not difficult to assemble - just use a rubber or plastic mallet (small) to tap the rods into the molded shelf pieces. You'll also need to attach the bottom bracket to the surface of the shelf to prevent it from tipping when you slide the shelves out. Nicely organizes our spice cupboard!
