Water thoroughly when the soil is completely dry. Allow excess water to drain away. Overwatering can lead to root rot, so it's better to underwater slightly than to overwater.

Reduce watering significantly during the winter months when the plant is dormant.

Pruning is generally not required for Gasteria obliqua. Remove any dead or damaged leaves at the base of the plant using clean, sharp scissors or a knife.

This helps maintain the plant's aesthetic appeal and prevents potential disease spread.

Easily propagated from offsets (pups) that grow at the base of the parent plant. Gently detach an offset with roots attached and allow it to callous over for a few days before planting in well-draining soil.

Leaf cuttings are also possible but less reliable.

Repot every 2-3 years or when the plant becomes root-bound. Choose a pot that is only slightly larger than the current one. Use a well-draining succulent or cactus potting mix.

Repotting is best done in spring or early summer.
