Iā€™m starting to enjoy #gasteria This was labeled #fuscopunctata, but Iā€™m unsure if thatā€™s the same as #gasteria-oxtongue. Looks alike, so Iā€™m going with it 🤷🏻ā€ā™€ļø

Not to be too rigid here but ā€œox-tongueā€ is a common name given to gasteria species in general. Fuscopunctata is a non valid species name (or synonym) for gasteria acinacifolia which is what your plant appears to be. If you donā€™t care to or need to know the scientific binomial names then ā€œOx Tongueā€ works just fine.

@heatherdirtyhands thanks! I have a #gasteria-littlewarty that I found, my introduction to this plant. When someone let me choose one of these to add in, I jumped at the chance!

@wildbloomers I appreciate learning about these. That explains why I couldnā€™t find anything about it when I got it. Can you advise, should this have the same ā€œplumpnessā€ of leaves as my little warty? I canā€™t tell if it needs a drink or not 😂
