Aloe deltoideodonata (100 seeds)

Aloe deltoideodonata (Aloaceae) This stemless or short-stemmed Aloe is from Madagascar. It produces pups from the base to make a cluster of rosettes with pale green leaves with prominent darker-green parallel lines and straw-colored margins. It flowers in late summer with a good show of short-branched or unbranched conical inflorescence with green-tipped pale orange flowers that open to near white and deflex downward. 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. Location: Ex Hort. Date of harvest: Oct 2018
