These are drought tolerant, they ill cope well with light shade, and even grow well with moderately wet winters, as long as drainage is good.

Use a specialist succulent and cacti potting mix, which will provide the drainage required.

A frost free position is important as is an environment that has low humidity.

  • G. moonglow – Thick green leaves blushed with pink.
  • G. fanfare – Narrow pale blue to green foliage.
