That Gonialoe sladeniana is a super plant. Nowehere as easy to grow as G. variegata. I'm on the look out for G. dinteri if anyone has one spare or ever comes across one.

Great plants Mike!

For whatever reason I have struggled with sladeniana in the past. Seems like flowering has completely exhausted and a single head I am left with looks very sorry for itself. Do you treat yours as a winter growing plant?

G. dinteri has been on my wants list for a number of years now and I have never come across it.

Mike, when you repot, would you like to swap one of those sladeniana pups for a Haworthia?

Sure Allan. I’ll be doing that in April if that’s ok.
Remind me!
