Gasteria leaves

Post by Cactusamateur »

Good morning everyone

So I have noticed some odd leaves on my gasteria and was wondering what it could be or caused it. They are on a south facing windowsill above a radiator. There is a curtain that gives somewhat dapped shade. Any help would be really appreciated.

Many thanks

Could be scorch. Gasterias in general are happier in the shade so a south facing windowsill isn't ideal.

Hi rodsmith

Ah I see! Well thank you for the advice I always thought succulents proffered a bright position. What about Aloes? And Sanseverias?

Many thanks

As a sweeping generalisation - Aloes want sun, Sanseverias want bright shade (certainly not too much sun) .
