Aloe comptonii (100 seeds)

Family: Aloaceae

It is an Aloe with thick triangular leaves edged with blunt rounded thorns. The red flowers appear in 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.
