Re: My gasteria of the day
Very nice plant, AnTTun.
The current name for G. nigricans is considered to be G. disticha var. disticha.
Assuming the leaves are matt, it looks like they are from your photo, then this is good for that species.
(Sometimes you see plants labelled as G. nigricans with very shiny leaves which are likely to be G. brachyphylla var. brachyphylla.)

That's a nice dark form you have there Antun. Make sure it is well away from any rabbits!

That's a heck of a tall flower spike.

Re: My gasteria of the day
@Ralph: I think it's somewhat darker than it should be due to light exposure past days. Fortunately no rabbits here
