Aloe immaculata

Aloe immaculata (Aloaceae) Also sometimes lumped under Aloe affinis. Instead of spots, this plant has some nice, ornamental, prominent lines running the length of each leaf. It also has some of the nastiest teeth of all the spotted aloes. Flowers start out looking like most spotted aloe flowers do, but these pinkish flowers have ornamental white lines. 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: May 2023
