Aloe Hybrid Vesta

Aloe 'Vesta' is a stunning hybrid prized for its eye-catching foliage and prolific flowering. With its compact size, bright green leaves, and vivid orange-red blooms, this versatile succulent adds beauty to any space, from windowsills to outdoor gardens.

Key Features

Distinctive Foliage – 'Vesta' forms a dense rosette of fleshy, triangular leaves, often speckled with lighter markings. The leaf margins are lined with small, soft spines, enhancing its textured appearance.

Compact Growth – Ideal for container gardening, this aloe remains small, typically reaching 6 to 12 inches in both height and width. Over time, it produces offsets, forming a lush cluster.

Prolific Blooms – This hybrid is a reliable bloomer, sending up tall, slender flower stalks topped with tubular, orange to reddish-orange flowers. These nectar-rich blooms attract hummingbirds and can appear multiple times throughout the year under the right conditions.

Care Guide

Light – Thrives in bright, indirect light. It can tolerate some direct sun but should be protected from intense afternoon exposure.

Watering – Allow the soil to dry out between waterings. Water thoroughly, but ensure excess moisture drains away.

Soil – Prefers a well-draining succulent or cactus mix with added perlite or sand for improved aeration.

Temperature – Grows best in temperatures between 65-80°F (18-27°C). Not frost-tolerant; protect from freezing conditions.

Fertilizer – Apply a diluted, balanced succulent fertilizer during the growing season (spring and summer). Avoid fertilizing in winter.

Best Uses

• Container Gardening – Perfect for small pots, patio planters, and sunny windowsills.

• Xeriscaping – A great addition to drought-tolerant gardens in warm climates.
