Aloe jucunda

 

Aloe jucunda

Aloe jucunda is a very easy species, and easy to find, too (commonly sold at outlet garden centres). It is an aggressive offsetter that fills out small pans to form very attractive small domes, and will eventually take over an area.. To reach this state, however it requires patience and a careful hand with watering. It makes a nice potted specimen or even a hanging basket plant. Given the right conditions they can be grown as a houseplant.

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.
