Family: Aloaceae.

It is a  maculate Aloe, offsetting when old, with a tall few branched inflorescence, with bright yellow and glossy flowers followed by large capsules.

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.
