Soil

Fertilizer
Gasteria batesiana 'Rowley' grows very slowly and doesnât require added fertilizer. Replacing your plantâs potting soil once a year should provide them with more than enough nutrition. Remember, plants get their energy from sunlight, not fertilizer!
Dormancy
Itâs common for Gasteria batesiana 'Rowley' to go dormant in the summertime and you may notice their growth slow down. Waterings should be spaced out more during this time.
