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!

Elegant, High-Quality Purse Perfect for Formal Events
Size: One Size, Color: Black
This is a large shoulder bag that ends up being the perfect size for a weekend outing or a nicer evening event. It’s made from genuine leather, and you can immediately tell from how soft it feels while still holding its shape really well. The design is very clean and elegant. There aren’t bulky outside pockets or extra zippers, so it has a sleek look that works great for dressing up. The black leather is deep and flawless, and the gold accents add a really classy touch. Inside, there aren’t a ton of compartments, so it’s more of a “throw everything in” type of purse. Thankfully, it’s roomy enough to comfortably fit a phone, wallet, keys, makeup, and pretty much anything else needed for a night out. It probably isn’t specifically intended for everyday use, although it definitely could be used that way. It also comes with a storage bag, which is nice for keeping it protected in a closet between events. For cleaning, I’d recommend using a proper leather handbag cleaner and avoiding harsh chemicals or wipes since it’s genuine leather. My wife has gotten a lot of compliments on it because it looks beautiful and elegant, and she loves using it for nicer occasions. I’d highly recommend it for formal events or nights out.

The softest, prettiest pink ever. So finely constructed in every detail.
Size: One Size, Color: Crinkle Morning Beach
I recently ordered this Kate Spade Large Leather Shoulder Bag in the Crinkle Morning Beach color, which is a very soft, mellow, light pink. Think puffy clouds dusted with the pink highlights at sunset kind of light pink. I think it’s absolutely gorgeous! I love the smooth, simple lines of this bag and the “rocking chair” curved bottom panel. The bottom panel allows this purse to stand upright, making it easy to see into it and access the contents. It has a simple thin shoulder strap tied into a perky loop detail at the side with a little tail. Nothing fussy. Just pure simplicity and class with a flirty little flair. As mentioned in the description, this is a large bag, 14” wide, perfect for travel or if you have more to carry on that day. It’s quite roomy inside. The zipper opens up along the entire top of the bag, making it easy to see into it and take things in and out of it. There’s an open pocket against one side and a zippered pocket against the other to keep things neatly organized and easy to find. The construction of this bag is perfect in every detail. The leather is just exquisite. So smooth to the touch. Even the light-colored inner lining is cool and smooth. Every surface has neat topstitching in perfect, small stitches in a matching pink thread color. It has a quality zipper that zips smoothly and has a small leather pull. It seems everything about this shoulder bag provides a delightful experience in its use.

A beautiful, soft, finely finished and costly bag
Size: One Size, Color: Crinkle Morning Beach, Size: One Size, Color: Crinkle Morning Beach
I defer to Mrs. Engineer in everything related to purses. I’ve included her comments below. UNPACKING The bag arrives surrounded by a thin foam pad inside a plastic bag. An unremarkable polyester storage bag (shown in a photo) is included. It comes folded in the same package as the bag. IMPRESSIONS The first impression the bag makes is that it's simple and beautiful and that the leather feels wonderful. The interior has one open pouch and one with a zipper (see photos). That’s sufficient for Mrs. Engineer but some people may want more subdivisions of the interior. The bag has top stitching everywhere. As shown in photos, there is impeccable top stitching throughout the interior and on the bottom. The interior is light colored, a feature always desirable in a bag for ease of finding things. The wide, flat (from front to back) bottom allows the bag to sit upright unless it’s loaded in an extremely unbalanced way. Because of the fineness of the leather, most people wouldn’t want to put it down on any flooring unless it was carpeted. The handle is comfortable and is suitable for both handheld and over-the-shoulder carrying. The strap length can be adjusted to fit the user. PRICE It’s difficult to comment on the price and whether it’s a good value. Certainly all the functions of this bag, including looking elegant, can be accomplished with a bag costing a quarter as much. Whether the quality of the leather, the fineness of the finishing and the cachet of the Kate Spade brand is worth the cost of the bag depends on the eye, and the resources, of the beholder. We received this bag at no cost through the Amazon Vine program in return for an unbiased review. For us, personally, it would not be worth its price at the time of this review, but the popularity of the brand proves that many others feel differently about it. CONCLUSIONS This is a beautiful and finely finished bag that we are happy to have, and there’s nothing negative to say about it. I’ve given it five stars.
