Aristaloe Aristata
Lace Aloe
Original:Aristaloe aristata, formerly known as Aloe aristata, is a stemless, clump-forming succulent up to 12 inches (30 cm) tall. It forms dense rosettes of stubby, lance-shaped, toothed, white-margined, dark green leaves up to 4 inches (10 cm) long. They have small white spots and soft white spines. It produces terminal panicles up to 20 inches (50 cm) tall, 2 to 6 branched, bearing cylindrical, orange-red flowers up to 1.5 inches (4 cm) long. Aristaloe aristata is native to Lesotho and South Africa (Northern Cape, Western Cape, Eastern Cape, Free State, KwaZulu-Natal). This genus is well known for its ease of cultivation, but species are sensitive to excessive irrigation. Provide regular watering in spring and summer to make the soil thoroughly moist then allow the soil to dry before watering again. In winter, during the dormant season, water sparingly or not at all, as it is prone to rotting. New:Aloe 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.

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.
