Aloe petrophila (100 seeds)

Aloe petrophila (100 seeds)

Its flower stalks are not tall, usually about 50 cm, and they have multiple branches which each end in a cluster of striped pink flowers.

Sowing instructions: Seeds germinate very well but may damp off if over-water. 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.
