Ox Tongue Gasteria derives its common name from the long, tongue-shaped leaves that resemble the tongue of an ox. The leaves are thick, fleshy, and typically grow in a rosette pattern.
The coloration of the leaves varies from deep green to dark brown, with contrasting white or light green spots or stripes. The leaves often have a rough, textured surface, adding to the plant's overall appeal.
The mature plant can reach a height of about 6 to 8 inches (15 to 20 cm) and spread up to 12 inches (30 cm).
