Aloinopsis malherbei

Aloinopsis are compact, winter-growing succulents closely related to the stone plants, forming tight clumps of thick, textured leaves. They are well suited to pot culture and valued for their resilience, distinctive foliage, and bright seasonal flowers.

Care

• Light: Full sun to bright light. Light shade is acceptable in very hot conditions.
• Water: Water sparingly during the active growing period in cooler months. Allow the potting mix to dry completely between watering. Keep dry during summer dormancy.
• Temperature: Prefers cool to mild conditions while growing. Protect from prolonged frost.
• Potting Media: Very free-draining mineral-based mix. Shallow pots are recommended.
• Feeding: Light feeding only during active growth, at low strength. Excess fertiliser can distort growth.
