Aloe Arborescens

 

Candelabra Aloe

This is a Tropical plant, and in colder climates is treated as a Houseplant. They come in many varieties, some of which flower,- there are hundreds of them! They cannot survive in temperatures below 10c/55f. The leaves are spiky and fleshy. Aloe Arborescens is a multi-headed variety that grow to tree-like proportions, as the name suggests - generally 2-3 m. The leaves are green with a tinge of blue, and are toothed around the edges. They are arranged in rosettes at the ends of the branches. The orangey-red flowers are tubular. The plant has a gel-like substance in the leaves that has medicinal uses.

Planting

From Early Spring TO Late Winter

Plant in good cactus compost, or a loamy compost with added sand, for drainage.

 

Propagating

From Early Spring TO Late Winter

Carefully remove side-shoots when they are large enough to handle, cutting them away from the parent plant. Make sure they have some root, and re-pot.

 

Flowering

From Late Spring TO Early Spring

Downward hanging flowers grow on spikes, and can be white, yellow, orange or red. They usually appear in Summer, but can be seen irregularly through the year.
