FREE: ALOE ARISTATA

The listing, ALOE ARISTATA has ended.

Aloe aristata blooms in late spring and early summer and is easily propagated. It produces offsets that can be gently removed from the parent plant and cuttings can also be taken. In both cases you should leave the new plants for a few days to dry before planting to allow the cuts to recover.
Care Tips
In order to grow Aloe aristata in temperate climates you will need to bring it in during the coldest weather and keep it in bright sunlight during the summer. It is hardier than many other Aloes but will still appreciate the warmth. It requires very little maintenance, making it an ideal choice for novice gardeners.
Water carefully, especially during the dormant season, as it is prone to rotting; a thin layer of gravel on top of the soil will help to prevent this. Sandy free draining soil will keep your Aloe aristata healthy. Use cactus compost or add sand.
The tiny white spikes that cover the leaves are what give it the common name of lace aloe
