Native to Africa, Madagascar, and the Arabian Peninsula. Renowned for their fleshy, water-storing leaves and medicinal properties, Aloes range from compact rosettes to towering tree-like structures.
Key Features:
Succulent Leaves: The leaves are thick and fleshy, often edged with teeth or spines, designed to store water and adapt to arid environments.
Variety of Forms: Aloe species come in various sizes and shapes, from small, ground-hugging rosettes to tall, branching trees.
Medicinal Uses: Many species contain a gel-like substance within their leaves known for its soothing and healing properties for skin ailments.
Flowers: Most Aloes produce tall flower stalks with tubular blooms in vibrant colors like red, orange, yellow, or pink, attracting pollinators.
Growing Conditions:
Sunlight: Aloes prefer bright, indirect light or full sun.
Soil: They thrive in well-draining soil, such as a cactus or succulent mix.
Water: Aloes are drought-tolerant and require infrequent watering, allowing the soil to dry out completely between waterings. Overwatering can lead to root rot.
Popular Species:
Aloe vera: Widely known for its medicinal gel used for skin care and digestive health.
Aloe arborescens: A large, branching aloe known as the Krantz Aloe or Candelabra Aloe.
Aloe polyphylla: A rare and beautiful species with a spiral arrangement of leaves.
Aloe aristata: A compact aloe with a rosette of spiky leaves.
The succulent plant housed in the red pot comes in a 130mm diameter container. While the image provides a representative depiction of what you will receive, but may vary slightly because no two succulents are the same.
