Gasteria Experiments

Hey Gang!

While bring in my plants for the winter, this plant took a serious fall!  It was
broken up pretty bad!

Here is a closer look.  Pretty sad!  It won't be ready for showing for a couple

of years!

I started to trash the broken pieces of the plant but something said don't. 

So I planted them in pots to see what will happen. Some interesting

things happened!

In this pot all the new shoots look similar the original plant.  They seemed

smaller but I didn't think anything of it because new shoots are often small.

I go quite a few new shoots from this one.

In my second pot a strange thing happened.  I got three different shoots coming of the plant.

One has a pink tone to it and it is flatter that the original plant in diameter.

One of the others is more yellow in color with bits of green and a little pink to it.

This last new shoot isn't as small as the ones in the other pot.  It is

about the size of the original plant.  It coloring is close to that of the original plant

too.  I can't wait for them all to get larger so that I can really see what they look like.

OK, Thanks For Looking!
