Anyone here into Gasteria? I have a few nice little plants and a couple are flowering. I received them as gifts years ago and suddenly I'm finding all sort of neat hybrids growing everywhere...

They're a really easy plant and so I now wish to hybridize. I've got one I think is a Glauca in flower and also a Batesiana. I've already pollinated with a Haworthia both ways in the past several days... hopefully it takes!

The haworthia pollen seems a bit grainy but I tried at several stages..

This site is helpful:

But there is only limited Info available on Gasteria. If anyone has tried this with success please share tips and experiences.

I also have a larger Gasteria Excelsa type and I wonder if the small ones can cross with larger species? There are a few Gasteraloe and Haworthia crosses going around already... and some really neat Gasteria Hybrids... 

Soon ill have well timed flowers from two others, an Armstrongii and one that looks to be a 'Little Warty'.  The flower parts are very different from Haworthia...

maybe there is something I should know!
