Gasteria liliputana super white clone

Post by Ernie »

I got this in 2018 via ebay from Stuart. Am I missing something because the only thing thats super white is the pot. :lol: I like the plant whatever it is but should it be showing some white?

Looks a good one to me!
For white, read very pale green leaves with dark green spots.

Calling it Super White is just a good way of selling plants I reckon.

I have decided to do away with all these odd names on Haworthias/Gasterias. The will be renamed Haworthia/Gasteria cultivar/hybrid. Some names that appear on plants for sale on the internet cannot be found anywhere else so maybe you are right, just names made up to sell them.

It might also have its original cultivar name in Japanese or Korean or some other language, which got lost in the "Chinese whispers" of translations.

Ernie that is a noble idea.
Often one differently named hybrid is so like another that they could be twins ..... then two clones of the same plant differ significantly.
Endeavouring to grow Aylostera, Echinocereus, Echinopsis, Gymnocalycium, Matucana, Rebutia, and Sulcorebutia. Fallen out of love with Lithops and aggravated by Aeoniums.
Currently being wooed by Haworthia, attempting hybridisation, and enticed by Mesembs.

I think that's a bad idea, Ernie. If you ever propagate the plant, or give it away, the new owner may end up trying to guess what it is, and get it wrong. Information thrown away is gone for ever. So, I would not do this unless I were sure it was incorrectly labelled,
