Product details
ALOE FEROX
Also known as Cape Aloe is the largest cactus in the aloe family, sometimes reaching 2 1/2m tall. It originates from South Africa and features large, fleshy, succulent-type leaves that boast a blueish-green hue and thorny texture. Mature plants take on a reddish hue in the winter and produce an exotic bloom in the spring. Aloe Ferox leaves also contain the clear, soothing gel that smaller varieties of Aloe are famous for.
Plant the seeds in a pot with a high drainage growing medium like gritty potting mix. When the plant is established you can transplant it outdoors. In very warm climates, Aloe Ferox can be propagated outdoors.
Select a garden location. Aloe Ferox is a large plant, so find a place with a width of 90 to 150 cm all around. Make sure there is good drainage in the spot you choose. Aloe Ferox also has a relatively shallow root system for its height so your garden should not be exposed to strong wind
Monitor moisture. Aloe Ferox is intended for arid desert conditions and is drought tolerant. It will rot if exposed to rain without a fast-draining soil so drainage is the most important factor in the care of this plant. You may water it occasionally in very dry summer months. Let it drain completely and never let it stay saturated.
