Description
Aloe camperi (20 seeds) Aloaceae. A colony forming aloe that suckers or branches near the base with individual rosettes with narrow light green leaves that are flat on the upper surface and angle upwards then arch over towards the tips with sharp spines along the margins. This plant reliably produces branched inflorescences with an abundance of salmon-orange buds that open to yellow flowers from the bottom up in late spring. Sowing : Seeds germinate very well but may damp off if overwatered. Use a mixture of river sand, compost and soil to sow seeds in. Sprinkle the seeds evenly on the surface and cover with a layer of small pebbles. The pebbles help the seedlings to stay upright and prevent damping off. Keep seed tray in a dry warm corner and do not allow to dry out. Transplant the seedlings after one year. Locality : Ex Hort. Harvest : June 2019
