Aloe arborescens (Aloe arborescens) Potted Plant, quart size, organic

(3 customer reviews)

$21.00

Note: These are quart size plants, nice, that will be depotted to ship.  RAC

Family: Aloe (Asphodelaceae)

Hardiness: Zone 8 to 10, often grown as a potted plant indoors or on the summer patio.

(Krantz Aloe) Perennial succulent native to South Africa.  Growing up to 8 feet tall, the plant flowers coral-red in the fall and/or winter.  Plants produce one or more upright stalks with the showy rosettes perched on top, leaves rimmed by large, soft and harmless spines, filled with gel.  Aloe arborescens is an excellent choice for potted culture anywhere, or outdoors culture in maritime California, desert areas and the South.  When left in potted culture, keep indoors in a bright window, in the shady greenhouse or on the porch in the summer, then bring in for the winter.  Drought tolerant, but also, among the Aloes we’ve grown, more tolerant of cold and “wet feet” than most.  “Krantz” is the Afrikaner word meaning “cliff” or “rocky ledge,” referring to the natural habitat. Plant prefers dry to mesic soil and full sun to part shade.  Space plants 2 to 3 feet apart–they soar!

Organically Certified Potted Plant, quart size, will be depotted and wrapped to avoid damage in shipment

    Excellent aloe! Grown and flourished without much attention

    This aloe has kept growing. We occasionally clip leaves to eat, but the aloe continues to thrive.

    Richo — is it possible to buy two gallons of your soil for aloes? Our zone 6b farm dirt doesn’t seem ideal.

  2. Question

    Casey (verified owner)

    I got my plant and potted it as you suggested. I love it! I’m not sure how often to water. I read the instructions and it said dry to mesic soil and can tolerate wet feet at certain temperatures. About how often is that? Once every few days? Once a week? I will be keeping it indoors by a sunny window, in a large pot (picture attached) with a drainage hole in the bottom. Thank you 🙂

      Hi Casey,
      Aloe arborescens will take more water than most aloes. Water deeply, and allow surface to completely dry before watering again. In the indoor setting you have there, you might end up watering once a week. Thank you for taking such good care of this plant, may it pup out, flourish and flower.

      Hi Debbie, Thanks for writing. No, these are the small size. You want the gallon size plants that are 7-year-olds. They are in stock and shipping is in the spring due to possibility of frost in transit. If you need the plant right away, use the customer comments field at checkout, excuse us of responsibility for freezing in transit, and request immediate shipment. Richo

      Hello Marijana,
      Yes, it is Aloe arborescens. Plants come in families just like people, but taxonomists keep[ changing the family names, it is no reason to be concerned.
