Description
Aloe krapholiana var. dumoulinii (Aloaceae). A small Aloe with rosettes in clusters of up to 15 heads. The leaves are narrow and oblong, grey-green without any spots. The inflorescence is simple with large dense oblong racemes. The flowers are dull red with the tips greenish-yellow. Sowing : Seeds germinate very well but may damp off if over-watered. 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.
