How to Select Healthy Bredasdorp Gasteria？

Bredasdorp gasteria should have firm, green leaves without yellowing or browning at the edges. Ensure there are no visible pests like aphids or mealybugs. Check for healthy roots if possible; they should be white or light brown, not mushy or blackened. Look for new growth as a sign of vigor. Avoid plants with wilting or drooping leaves, which might indicate poor health. A well-potted bredasdorp gasteria with a balanced shape and no signs of rot at the base is ideal.
