Gasteraloe 'Spirit of 88' f. crestata

The crested shape of this succulent presents the typical compact fan arrangement, which makes each exemplar absolutely unique, never identical to another and for this reason so much appreciated by collectors. In its normal form it is a pleasant succulent rosette-shaped, consisting of lanceolate and fleshy leaves, well stiff and dotted with three-dimensional papillae that make the epidermis rough to the touch. Of a pleasant matte emerald green, its surface is pleasantly dotted with light green streaks, which blend perfectly with the markedly lighter margins of the rest of the succulent. The overall effect is extremely captivating, made even more particular by its remarkable ability to change color: G. 'Spirit of 88', in fact, tends to fade towards a more brownish color, almost black but enriched by greyish streaks, depending on the season and the sun exposure, for an always innovative and visually striking appearance!
