Aloe africana (100 seeds)

Aloe africana (100 seeds)

Family: Aloaceae

A single-stemmed aloe with deep orange buds that open to a light orange or yellow flower. Flowers mostly from mid- to late winter, and early spring.

Sowing instructions: 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.
