Gasteria 'Green Dragon' is a succulent from South Africa, native to rocky landscapes where it adapted to grow in arid conditions. This drought-tolerant plant suits modern homes and offices, equally comfortable under LED desk lighting or in a quiet corner of your home.
The plant grows in a tight rosette of thick, fleshy leaves with smooth, waxy surfaces that help it retain moisture efficiently. Leaves are green with subtle textural patterns and arranged in a compact, upright form. Its sturdy structure and modest size mean it won't sprawl or demand constant attention.
When mature, it produces tubular flowers on tall stalks in shades of pink to coral during warmer months. The plant filters formaldehyde and other common household toxins from indoor air.
You can leave it up to ten days without water. It grows well under office LEDs and tolerates dry, heated indoor air. The plant is pet-friendly and safe for cats and dogs. Move it outside in summer to a spot with bright shade, and bring it back inside before temperatures drop below 50°F. A heavy pot anchors its deep root system and prevents tipping.
