Strange growth on this Gasteraloe

Post by Kamos »

Miniature succulent leaves on the flower stem of this plant. I'm curious to see what will happen to these. Has anyone seen this happen before?

I have heard before this could (also) happen with Haworthias, an offset growing on a flower stalk. So not so strange to see the same with Gasteria (related species). I believe it also happens with Mitrophyllums sometimes. Also not something I have seen in person.

I had that on a Haworthia and was happy to root it later. the succes was limited: it died two/three years later.
