🌱 Morphology
Compact and extraordinarily ornamental hybrid, selected for the combination of a glaucous blue-green epidermis with an intense salmon-orange coloration under intense lighting. It forms a more or less flat and compact rosette, slow-growing, about 8 cm tall and 10 cm in diameter. The lanceolate and fleshy leaves measure approximately 8 × 2 cm, have a rough surface and are densely papillose on both sides, and end in a sharp apex. The margins are regularly dentate. It produces offsets easily and is very floriferous.
🌍 Origin, genealogy and family
Family Asphodelaceae, tribe Alooideae, genus Aloe. Horticultural hybrid whose parents and breeder are unknown.
❄️ Temperature — USDA 10
Tolerates minimum temperatures of up to approximately −1 °C for short periods, provided the substrate remains dry. The patent documents trials between −1 and 32 °C without this allowing the plant to be considered resistant to prolonged frosts. In Madrid, it is recommended to protect it especially from damp cold.
☀️ Lighting
Lots of light–soft sun. Intense lighting promotes the compactness of the rosette and extraordinarily enhances the coral pink of the margins and papillae. A DLI PAR of 20–30 mol/m²/day is recommended, gradually increasing sun exposure to avoid burns.
💧 Growth cycle and watering
Summer dormancy. During episodes of extreme heat, it is recommended to reduce watering and keep the substrate dry for longer. During active growth, it can be watered thoroughly, allowing the substrate to dry out completely before the next watering.
🌸 Flowering
It is a very floriferous hybrid. It produces flower stems of approximately 38 cm, clearly elevated above the small rosette. The flowers measure about 2.1 cm in length and have very pale shades, between greenish-white and pink, with a darker central line.
🌿 Nutrition
During the active growth period, Desert CHOICE® Aloes, Haworthias & Co. is recommended, with a high content of potassium and bioavailable calcium. It is applied with watering, reducing or suspending fertilization during summer dormancy.
