Aloe deltoideodonta 'Delta Lights'

 

Aloe 'Delta Lights'

Aloe Vera ‘Delta Lights’ has tactile, patterned foliage. The leaves have a nice sharp point and plenty of visual appeal. The dark green colouring has a chartreuse overlay with the overall effect of a zig zag pattern. Mature plants will send up an orange flower spike that lasts for many weeks from autumn to spring. Aloe Vera ‘Delta Lights’ makes a great house, office or patio plant. It is so easy to care for in a pot. Just choose a good quality potting mix and the container of your choice. You will only need to water them in, then as the potting mix dries out. You can also plant Aloe Vera ‘Delta Lights’ in the garden. Choose a part shade spot with well drained soil. It is frost sensitive so it is better in a pot in cool climates. For hundreds of years, Aloe Vera has been used as a healing plant, the sap is used for treatment of skin conditions such as sun burn. In Ancient Egypt, it was known as the plant of immortality.

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.
