Description
Aloe ecklonis (Aloaceae) Aloe ecklonis has broad leaves with white-toothed margins. The rosette of leaves alone are most attractive. It enjoys moist soils and is an attractive garden subject as a large number of inflorescences are borne simultaneously. The colour varies from yellow, orange to red. 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: Harrysmith. Harvest: November 2019
