Aloinopsis rubrolineata
check_circle In Stock
Aloinopsis rubrolineata is a small, rugged succulent endemic to the Eastern Cape of South Africa, thriving in gravelly and rocky soils with minimal rainfall. Unlike some of its counterparts, this form lacks the characteristic purple leaf veining, instead displaying a more muted, pebbled texture on its greenish-grey leaves. Its capacity to flower brightly in the chill of winter adds a welcome splash of colour during the dormant season for most succulents.
Distinctive Features
- Textured foliage: Leaves are thick, slightly triangular, and coated in a fine, pebbly surface that offers a tactile quality and subtle visual charm.
- Winter blooming: Produces daisy-like flowers in hues of yellow to orange, often with a reddish central ring, emerging in the cooler months.
- Clumping habit: Forms neat clusters over time, ideal for troughs or small rock gardens where space is limited.
Care Tips
- Light: Requires full sun or very bright indirect light to maintain compact growth and encourage flowering.
- Water: Water sparingly during autumn and winter when active; allow the soil to dry fully before watering again.
- Humidity: Prefers dry air and good ventilation; avoid high humidity environments.
- Media: Use a sharply draining, mineral-rich mix such as a coarse succulent blend or sandy loam.
- Temperature: Withstands light frost if kept dry; ideal growing temperatures are between 10–24 °C.
- Fertiliser: Feed lightly during active growth with a diluted, low-nitrogen fertiliser once a season.
- Repotting: Best repotted in early spring every few years to refresh soil and encourage healthy growth.
