Furthermore, because gasteria plants grow slowly and remain small even when they're mature, you likely won't have to repot often. But over time, mature plants will send up baby offset plants, which can eventually overcrowd the container.

How do I know when to repot my succulents?

You will know it is time to repot your succulent when it has evidently outgrown its pot. When the roots start growing out of the drainage hole in the pot, it will mean that there is no more space for them to grow. Succulents should be repotted just before their growing season starts, in early spring or early fall.

Do gasteria like to be root bound?

They only require repotting every two to four years, preferring to be quite root bound - I recommend using a heavy pot, such as those made from terra cotta because these plants can be top heavy.
