Description
Aloe fosteri yellow. (Aloaceae) One of several dozen aloes that form attractively speckled or marbled rosettes, this one has quite large rosettes of glaucous grey-green leaves marked on the upper surface with white H shaped bands and with marginal red-brown teeth. The branched flowering stalk bears yellow flowers which appear in autumn. This is a beautiful addition to a sunny area of the garden, and makes a wonderful display if grouped together. Date of harvest : June 2009. Locality : Ohrigstad. 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
