Aloinopsis 'Setifera'
Original:Aloinopsis setifera is a species of succulent plant, native to Southern Africa. It is tuberous rooted and produces small rosettes forming dense mats. It has thick, light blue-green to dark purple leaves with white teeth and are warty and textured. It sports daisy-like, silky, yellow, yellowish bronze or salmon pink flowers and blooms at the end of winter if it gets enough light. New:Aloinopsis is a genus of ice plants from South Africa. They are closely related to Titanopsis and produce a large tuberous root system. They are winter growers and can react badly to too much water at the wrong time

Planting
From Early Spring TO Early Spring
Aloinopsis need good draining soil. When planting in the garden, make sure the area drains well and is not in a hollow that remains wet. Specially prepared cactus soil can be purchased for planting in pots or incorporate sand, gravel or volcanic rock for better drainage. The container you are planting in should have a drainage hole and it is wise to put crushed rock at the bottom before your planting medium. Aloinopsis have very large tuberous roots thus the choice of pot is crucial to allow the tuber to expand as the plant grows. It should be fairly deep, unlike most other succulent planters.
Propagation
From Early Spring TO Late Spring
It is easily propagated by the removal of offshoots in spring. To propagate by cuttings, remove a shoot and let it lie for about one week, giving the wound time to heal. Cuttings should first be allowed to dry and form a calous by placing them on a cool place for at least one week. The basal part should preferably be treated with a fungicide. Plant the cutting in an erect position in sandy soil. Rooting is rapid,and the plantlets can be planted out in small containers when they are large enough to handle.
