5 in stock
Gasteria lilliputana is a tiny, yet striking succulent native to South Africa. This miniature plant features thick, fleshy leaves that form a dense rosette, with dark green to greyish-green coloring and distinctive white markings or spots. The leaves are rough to the touch, giving it a unique texture that stands out in succulent collections. In late winter or early spring, it produces small, tubular flowers in shades of pink or red, adding a pop of color to its compact form. Interesting fact: Despite its small size, Gasteria lilliputana is extremely hardy and can tolerate drought and neglect, making it an ideal choice for beginner succulent growers. Its slow-growing nature also means it requires minimal maintenance and thrives in bright, indirect light.

Gasteria lilliputana is ‘n klein, maar indrukwekkende vetplant wat oorspronklik uit Suid-Afrika kom. Hierdie miniatuurplant het dik, vlesige blare wat ‘n digte roset vorm, met donker groen tot grys-groen kleur en kenmerkende wit kolle of merke. Die blare is growwe om aan te raak, wat dit ‘n unieke tekstuur gee wat uitstaan in vetplantversamelings. In die laat winter of vroeë lente, produseer dit klein, buisvormige blomme in skakerings van pienk of rooi, wat ‘n kleurvolle aksent by sy kompakte vorm voeg. Interessante feit: Ten spyte van sy klein grootte, is Gasteria lilliputana uiters taai en kan dit droogte en verwaarlozing verdra, wat dit ‘n ideale keuse maak vir beginners wat vetplante kweek. Sy stadig-groeiende aard beteken ook dat dit min onderhoud benodig en floreer in helder, indirekte lig.

Shipping Policy
**Shipping Policy for Plants**
At MantisPlants, we take great care in preparing and shipping your plants to ensure they arrive in the best possible condition.
Bare Root Shipping
All plants are typically shipped bare-rooted, meaning that the soil is carefully removed from the roots to prevent any damage during transit. We wash the roots to remove any remaining soil and allow them to dry before wrapping them gently in tissue paper. This process helps minimize stress on the plant and ensures its safe arrival to you.
Pot Shipping Option (Not Recommended)
While we do offer the option of shipping some plants in their pots, this is generally not advisable. Shipping a plant in its pot can result in root damage due to movement and stress during transit. The roots can become constricted or disturbed, which can harm the plant. If you are still interested in this option, it must be arranged in advance with the vendor, and we will take extra precautions to pack it as securely as possible. However, we highly recommend the bare-root shipping method to ensure the best possible outcome for your plant.
**Careful Packaging**
We take pride in our packing process to ensure your plant arrives safely. Every plant is carefully packed, with extra attention to detail to protect the roots and foliage. We take care to secure the plant during transit, and make sure it is cushioned and stabilized inside the shipping box to avoid damage.
Our goal is to make sure your plant reaches you healthy and ready to thrive! If you have any questions about the shipping process, feel free to reach out to us.

Euphorbia pulvinata is a small, cushion-forming succulent native to South Africa. It grows in dense, rounded clumps that resemble little green pillows, hence the name “pulvinata,” which means “cushion-like.” This plant has short, thick stems covered in small tubercles and spines, giving it a textured appearance. In spring to early summer, it produces tiny, yellow-green flowers (cyathia) at the tips of its stems.

Haworthia Viscosa Hybrid
Oudtshoorn, WC
This Haworthia hybrid is a small, succulent plant known for its distinctive rosettes of plump, fleshy leaves that can vary in shape, color, and texture, often featuring fascinating translucent or windowed tips.

Care Instructions:
Haworthia hybrids prefer bright, indirect sunlight and well-draining soil. Water sparingly, letting the soil dry out completely between waterings, especially in cooler months.
