Aloe Ciliaris_Climbing Aloe
Succulent houseplants are popular plants for window sills, brighten desks and other indoor spaces where you can show them off. Great for weddings! Protect from frost.
Description:
Known as the climbing aloe as it tends to scramble upward, often spiralling as it climbs. Offsets prolifically to form dense mats. Bright orange tubular flowers on tall spikes appear in late winter and early spring. Flowers are interesting as they are bright yellow inside, but orange outside. Hummingbirds frequently visit aloes and many other succulents to drink nectar. Excellent in rock gardens or as landscape plants. Porous soil with excellent drainage. Bright light to morning sun. Water thoroughly when soil is dry to the touch.
so important to note that aloe can freeze in the winter if outside.
Succulents are FAR more likely to survive under-watering than over-watering. The thick fleshy leaves will appear wilted and a bit “under-full” when they need water.
Dry soil is necessary. Succulents should be potted in a fast-draining mixture that’s designed for cacti and succulents. Modifying basic potting mix with approximately half potting mix to half Perlite or Vermiculite.
Perfect as a houseplant.
