Aloe longistyla
This attractive dwarf species produces heads 10 to 12cm, forming stems. Large flower spikes carrying masses of orange flowers in a tight formation appear in late winter.
Position - partial shade in protected areas outdoors or in sunny indoor positions, not suited for gardens.
In darker positions they may lose their nice shape and colour.
Watering - this Aloe can be watered all year round but care must be taken to make sure they dry out soon after watering, shallow pots will help with this. Most growth is over the summer months. Plants will survive without water for many months but will do better if watered regularly over the warmer months.
Feeding - 25% of recommended dosage monthly in growing period. The less fertiliser, the better the shape of the plant. Fertilisers high in nitrogen can produce larger plants with less colour.
Repotting - can be left to overgrow their pots or repotted in the warmer months in almost any well drained potting mix.
