Description
Gastrolea ‘Super Silver’ is a rare and highly sought-after hybrid created from select Gasteria × Aloe parent plants. This exceptional cross combines the best of both genera—dense structure, slow growth, and remarkable leaf durability—while displaying a breathtaking metallic sheen that gives the plant its name.
Its thick, triangular leaves are coated with a smooth silver-grey frosting, forming a compact, architectural rosette that stands out beautifully in any succulent collection. Under bright light, the silvery tones intensify, enhancing its sculptural, almost futuristic look.
A slow-growing, collector-grade hybrid, nurtured with care in our Nilgiris greenhouse and shipped bare root for safe transit.
Limited stock available only at Succulent Gallery.
