Aloe transvaalensis - 5 Seed Pack - Indigenous Succulent + FREE SEEDS WITH ALL ORDERS - NEW

Aloe transvaalensis commonly known as the Transvaal Zebra Aloe is a South African indigenous succulent species of Aloe. Aloe transvaalensis is a summer flowering species with milky-green leaves in rosettes with spots on the upper surface. It bears a branched panicle of pink to light red flowers to 1 meter in height. It prefers full sun to half day sun to flower best and will grow 75cm to 90cm tall. Aloes are very popular and some of the most rewarding plants to cultivate. They make excellent accent plants owing to their often strange and inspiring architectures, as well as the bright flowers that offset the grey-green leaves.

They are also very suitable as container plants and small aloes can be used very effectively as border plants at the edge of a bed. Although aloes are most often included in rockeries, their application in horticulture is not limited to this feature and they can be used in almost any setting and in conjunction with most common garden plants.

Aloes can tolerate long periods of drought, but it is not true that watering should be withheld to obtain optimal growth. Stressed plants are more susceptible to insects and pests. Plants flourish, flower better and are more resistant when given adequate water during the growing season. However, be very cautious not to over-water aloes because they may rot if they stay wet for too long. Adequate drainage is essential.
