Gasteria Fuji Yuki

  • Gasteria ‘Fuji Yuki’ (often translated as "Snow on Fuji") is a stunning, highly sought-after variegated cultivar. Unlike the standard bicolor varieties, ‘Fuji Yuki’ is prized for its heavy, crisp white variegation that often covers large sections of the leaf. Its thick, lance-shaped leaves grow in a compact, architectural rosette, creating a look that resembles a snow-capped mountain.

    While the Gasteria genus originates from South Africa, the ‘Fuji Yuki’ cultivar is a product of specialized horticultural selection, likely developed in Japan. It was bred specifically to stabilize and enhance the brilliant white margins and stripes that make it a centerpiece in any succulent collection.

    The flowers of ‘Fuji Yuki’ are dainty, stomach-shaped (gastric) blossoms that hang like bells from a tall, slender raceme. They are typically a bicolored pinkish-orange and green. Because this cultivar grows slowly, the appearance of a bloom stalk is a rewarding event that signals a very happy plant.

  • Light: Prefers bright, indirect light. Because of the high amount of white (which lacks chlorophyll), this plant is more sensitive to sunburn than green varieties. Keep it away from harsh, direct midday sun.

    Soil: Use a gritty, porous succulent mix. A ratio of 50% potting soil to 50% inorganic material (like pumice or bonsai jack) is ideal to ensure the roots stay dry.

    Water: Low water needs. Only water when the soil is bone-dry to the touch. In winter, Gasteria enters a semi-dormant state and requires very little water.
  • Zones 9b – 11. It is not frost-tolerant and should be kept indoors if temperatures drop below 10°C.
