  Aloe are one of the most rewarding, easy to grow, virtually pest free, home and patio plants available that seem to grow best when neglected. They add a wonderful accent to any desert garden or window sill and have beautiful summer flowers that can be enjoyed early summer to late fall.
  You won't get field dug, bare root or immature plants. All our live Aloe plants are 2-4 year old and are extremely well established. Aloes come in the growers pot with the growers soil mix
(NOT BARE ROOT), are very well packed and only mildly trimmed before shipping. There is NO waiting years for your new Aloe to establish itself, NO guessing if a bare root plant will survive the shock of division and transportation, NO having to plant immediately. Just keep the pot in a shady area and water when dry.
 

The care & culture info. below is a general guideline and may or may not work in your environment.

 

Ideal use:  Border and independent desert garden, Containerized 6"-12" diameter  6" deep pots.

Growth Rate
 

 

         

 

 

Outdoor Zone  9 - 12  Avoid frost.
Height - Aloe vary drastically depending on species (see above).

Recommended Container Size - Most gardeners don't realize that Aloe do very well in containers. Container size may vary depending on the growth rate of the plant. Allow enough room for growth generally a 6" to a 12" diameter, 6" deep container will do well.

Water - Aloe must be treated like Cactus and water when nearly dry. Over watering will kill the plant.

Light - 70-100% Sun - Morning to afternoon sun is best. When planting outside expect the plant to go dormant while acclimating to its new environment.

Soil - Well drained, sandy Cactus mix.
 
Beautiful blooms appear summer to fall. Aloe plants ship grower direct in a full 6" pot. Leaves are trimmed to reduce shipping stress.

Fertilize -  Fertilizer can be detrimental to Aloe and too much can kill the plant so fertilize sparingly with 10-10-10 or 12-12-12. For in ground planting, broadcast a balanced granular fertilizer once a month.

Pests - Slugs can be a minor problem in early spring  - to rid yourself of these unwanted pests simply sprinkle some slug and snail bait around the base of the plants.

When you receive your new Aloe - Open your box carefully and water immediately.

Planting Information - (Click here)  Plant in ground in well drained, sandy soil in the spring to fall. Space plants to allow clumps to form and develop properly.
