Looking for a low-maintenance succulent that can add some charm to your indoor or outdoor space? Look no further than the ox tongue plant, also known as Gasteria carinata var. verrucosa!  

The Gasteria carinata 'verrucosa' is commonly referred to as ox tongue due to the shape and texture of its leaves. The leaves of this plant are thick, fleshy, and elongated, resembling the tongue of an ox. Additionally, the rough and warty surface of the leaves further contributes to its resemblance to an ox's tongue, which gives its names warty aloe, wart Gasteria, Keeled oxtongue, and Bredasdorp Gasteria.    

Hailing all the way from South Africa, it has thick, fleshy leaves that grow in a rosette with raised warts or bumps. With its dull green leaves adorned with white spots, it knows how to make a statement. These leaves can grow up to 12 inches long and 12 inches wide at the base, giving them a bold presence.  

With their lovely orange-pink flowers that bloom in early spring, they are like a burst of fireworks and easy-to-care-for. These Gasteria flowers appear in simple racemes but might surprise you by adding some small branches here and there for an unexpected twist. This slow-growing succulent plant is sure to be a hit with both experienced gardeners and beginners alike. 

These ox tongue plants are non-toxic for both humans and pets and can be propagated easily by offsets or stem cuttings. So, whether you're an avid green thumb or just looking for a new addition to your collection, read on to learn more about the ox tongue plant! 

Watering Needs 

Often, people worry they aren't giving their ox tongue plants enough water when in reality they are over-watering them. This is especially the case with succulents Gasteria as they don't do well in moist soil which can result in root rot.  

It's best to wait until the top two inches of soil are completely dry before watering. Watch out for signs of dehydration such as a pale discoloration and shriveled stem indicating that the succulent is consuming its interior water supply. Besides hydrating correctly, it's also crucial to ensure that the potting soil drains quickly to avoid damaging cactus roots.

As drought-tolerant plants, the ox tongue can thrive with less frequent watering, and if you forget to water them for a month or more, they will probably survive just fine.  

Light Requirement 

The ox tongue Gasteria plant is a really versatile plant when it comes to light requirements. It can thrive in a variety of different light levels, from full sun to partial shade. However, it's important to be mindful of the intensity of the light - if it is exposed to direct sunlight for too long, it can actually burn the leaves. So, if you're planning on keeping your ox tongue in a sunny spot, make sure that it's getting some shade during the hottest parts of the day. 

If you're not sure what kind of lighting conditions your ox tongue plant needs, you can always observe the leaves. If the leaves are starting to turn brown or yellow, it might be a sign that your Gasteria ox tongue is getting too much sunlight. On the other hand, if the leaves are starting to stretch out or become pale, it might be a sign that it isn't getting enough light.

Optimal Soil & Fertilizer Needs 

 The ox tongue plant prefers well-draining soil that allows water to flow through easily. If the soil is too dense or compact, it can hold onto water for too long and cause root rot. To help ensure that your ox tongue plants are getting the right amount of water, you might want to consider using a succulent soil mix, which is specifically designed for plants like the ox tongue.

Ideally, you want to use our specialized succulent potting mix, opens in a new tab that contains 5 natural substrates and organic mycorrhizae to promote the development of a strong root system that helps your succulent to thrive. 

When it comes to fertilizer for your ox tongue plant, use a balanced natural fertilizer with an equal ratio of NPK (5-10-5) that's formulated for succulents. You can apply the fertilizer once a year during the growing season in the spring and then stop fertilizing altogether during the winter months.

Make sure to follow the manufacturer's instructions carefully, as over-fertilizing can be just as harmful to the plant as under-fertilizing. 

Hardiness Zone & More 

As desert dwellers, the Gasteria plants enjoy hot temperatures. They prefer constant temperatures above 70 degrees Fahrenheit and can tolerate triple digits in the summer, so don't worry if your succulents get too hot.  

These ox tongue plants, on the other hand, cannot handle frost, cold, or freezing temperatures, so make sure it doesn't get below 45 

degrees Fahrenheit in its environment.  If grown outdoors this Gasteria Verrucosa’ grows best in USDA zone 9-11. 

Give this succulent Gasteria carinata 'verrucosa' a try if you're looking for an easy plant to care for!

A Tragic Victory
Format: Paperback
The book arrived within 3 days and was bundled with other miscellaneous items I purchased so no problem there. The book was also in mint condition with no damage what so ever. In my typical graphic novel fashion I picked up this book and did a quick read through. I typically focus on the importance of the literary merit of a graphic novel first and this book has the story telling of the burdened hero theme nailed. Not to spoil any key plot points but Tony's/Iron Man's burdens and actions impress and startle and had me on the edge of my seat the entire read. The part in which intrigued me the most was when Iron Man and Thor had a chance meeting at an untypical setting. This helped set up the scene especially for me since I have not been reading graphic novels by marvel lately and have been out of the loop. But this scene helped give tone to the bad blood between Tony Stark Director of S.H.I.E.L.D. and the Avengers such as Thor, to which I presume are directly influenced because of his actions in Civil War event. The events at the epilogue with Spider-Man further enforce the bad blood theme that occurred in the events of Civil War when registered superhero vigilante's were pitted against unregistered superhero vigilante's (Iron Man was the one who lead the registered against the unregistered). If you are just now jumping on like me some further wiki investigation/research may be required but all together it is fairly easy to get caught up to this point in Stark's timeline. It was a great read and I recommend that you purchase the Invincible Iron Man "omnibus" vol. 1 that collects Vol's 1, 2, and 3 of invincible Iron Man Like I plan on doing along with Invincible Iron Man "omnibus" vol. 2.

Pretty Good
Format: Paperback
This was a pretty good story. Attempted to be deep; Tony's sense of responsibility for his tech, his people and the world around him. It came through alright but could have used more in-depth discriptions of Tony's "Five Nightmares". Also could have gone deeper into the mind of Ezekiel Stane; his grudge against Tony just didn't do it for me. This in sorta the way mainstream comics have gone today; not too wordy. But Matt Fraction brings puts it together well enough. He is one of my favorite writers in the business today. My one real problem was the art. No sir, I didn't like it. The faces, to be exact. All of the men were so dark (and this is coming from a Black guy) and inconsistant from frame to frame. But Pepper Potts and Maria Hill (who should have been darker) were fair complected. Just weird, for some reason. The final issue in the trade paper back actually brings the whole thing home and it has a amazing guest star. I say pick the book up. Especially if you're a fan of the movies and have never read a comic.

Old friends, new enemies
Format: Kindle
One of the things I enjoy about the Iron Man books is their focus on intelligent applications. Cosmic powers have only a little play here, mostly for the villains. Tony Stark out thinks his opponents, and comes at them from angles they didn't anticipate. Even if they are upcoming types!

Fabulous Iron Man Title
Format: Paperback
One of the best recent Iron Man titles. Fraction takes a rather well-tread idea (i.e. Iron Man facing off against a knock-off, tech-based baddie) and turns it into a solid character study of Tony Stark and his titular five nightmares. The art work is great during the action scenes although Larroca's faces always look a tad off, especially in the early issues. Overall a fantastic story that brings the movie influences on the character into the comics while also exploring exactly what it is that makes Iron Man such a great character. Also, the collection includes the amazing post-Civil War epilogue wherein Spider-Man tries to console a worn down Iron Man despite the recent rifts between them.
