Aloe Zanzibarica
Tiger Tooth 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. Zanzibarica has rosettes of small toothed lime green leaves with white bumpy spots, and produces new lateral plantlets quite readily. In Spring each rosette produces a stem, or scape, topped with a conical head of red tubular flowers that are attractive to bees and birds

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.
