Astroloba robusta

.
.
Common name: astroloba
Family: Asphodelaceae
Distribution: Western Cape, Eastern Cape
Habitat: Dry soil
Life form: Succulent plant
Comments: In cultivation, this species requires similar conditions to other Astrolobas, but appreciates an even dryer regime. It can be propagated by seed, subdivision or cuttings. Cuttings and offsets are extremely slow to root, and require several weeks in a cool shady spot before planting. (haworthia-gasteria blogspot)
