Aloe 'Croco mix'
€7,95
🌱 Morphology: Horticultural hybrid of compact to shrubby habit, developing relatively wide rosettes of fleshy, lanceolate leaves, eventually forming a branched clump. The leaves are green, but can take on reddish or bronze hues with intense light. It produces offsets and can form dense clusters. The combination of its wide rosettes and branched habit is one of its most attractive features.
🌍 Distribution, habitat, and family: This is a horticultural Aloe hybrid, so it has no natural distribution or specific habitat. Its specific parentage is not reliably documented, so we do not recommend attributing specific parent species to it. It belongs to the family Asphodelaceae.
❄️ Temperature: Approximately USDA 9b–11b. For cultivation in Spain, we recommend keeping it above 5 °C (41 °F), although it can withstand occasional drops near 3 °C (37.4 °F) if completely dry. When potted, the combination of low temperatures and humidity should be especially avoided.
☀️ Lighting: Approximate target of 20–30 mol·m⁻²·day⁻¹ of DLI of PAR during growth. It tolerates a lot of light and direct sun after gradual acclimatization, although in Madrid it may benefit from protection during peak radiation hours in heatwaves.
💧 Growth cycle: Opportunistic, with growth when temperatures are favorable. During the active period, water generously and allow the substrate to dry completely before the next watering. With very high temperatures or during cold winter, significantly space out waterings and keep the substrate dry for longer.
🌸 Flowering: The specific flowering of this hybrid is poorly documented, so we do not assign a specific month. Under suitable conditions, it can produce the characteristic tubular inflorescences of Aloes, generally in warm yellow, orange, or reddish tones.
🌿 Nutrition: During active growth, use Desert CHOICE® Aloes, Haworthia & Co., specifically formulated for these plants with a particularly important contribution of calcium and potassium. Reduce or suspend fertilization during periods of slowdown.
