Aloe peglerae (100 seeds)

Family: Aloaceae

Common names: Red-hot poker aloe

Bergaalwyn plants grow up to 40cm high as solitary rosettes with greyish-green leaves that curve inwards. Simple large raceme with deep red flowers in winter. Very attractive plant.

Sowing instructions: 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.
