Aloe ballyi

Aloe ballyi. It is a succulent, evergreen tree that can grow up to 8 meter’s tall. The plant produces a single, unbranched stem up to 15cm in diameter and topped with a crown of leaves. 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: December 2022
