Gasteria Pillansii (Cow's Tongue)
Plant of the Week
The Plant of The Week is… Cow’s Tongue!
It has distinct paddle-shaped, polka dotted double leaf growth + a sandpapery feel that earns the common name of Cow’s Tongue. Most Gasteria species grow in summer-rainfall areas, though Gasteria Pillansii thrives in the Western desert-adjacent zone of South Africa. This makes it a rare winter-rainfall adaptation in its family! This is a fascinating, pet safe, succulent! Many people love succulents, but unfortunately, their pets hold them back from indulging. Thankfully, this interesting guy can give you the best of both worlds. Despite its exotic look, this unique succulent is incredibly easy to care for and will regularly reward you with new leaves! Fun Fact: it produces underground runners and they send up baby plantlets at a distance from the main mother plant.

Cutest and most unique store I've ever been into! The plants were plenty and gorgeous, great variety. A lot of fun and affordable products to browse and purchase. Friendly staff. And I appreciate that it is an inclusive space.
Well made and adorable. Adds some whimsy to my space and makes me smile.
My girlfriends and I drove from Orillia, and was it worth it? YES.
We came home and immediately booked for the following month.
Needless to say, were excited 🤩🪴
Beautiful addition to any plant!
We love it!!! We only bought a small jar so we will be back for more!
Great store!
Can you follow up though and let me know how to use those vitamin cards I bought, how tightly do I pack the catus soil and how to cut the dead part of my catus off?
Amazing
Fun night out whether you win or not
A very fun shop with lovely offerings. Kind and helpful staff. Thoroughly enjoyed/enjoying my visit and items I purchased.
Really cool store and helpful staff.
Amazing giraffe and plant friend. Great store!
Friendly helpful staff that wear cool glasses and look like artists! Plant artists!!!👩🏼🎨
It’s a bit early to get a read on if the soil is helping my cactus…should o pack it down or keep the soil loose? Any tips?
Needed a spider plant to replace the dying and overgrown plant in my office.
