Aloe vanbalenii, also known as the Van Balen's Aloe, is a unique succulent native to Madagascar. It is a small to medium-sized aloe species, known for its distinctive appearance and attractive foliage.
- Size: Aloe vanbalenii typically grows to a height of 30 to 60 cm and spreads to about 30 to 60 cm wide.
- Leaves: The leaves are elongated and lance-shaped, with toothed edges and a gray-green to bluish-green coloration. They often exhibit striking red or pink margins and can have a slightly rough texture.
- Stem: This aloe species usually grows as a solitary rosette-forming plant, with a short stem that may become elongated with age.
- Flowers: Mature plants produce tall spikes of tubular, orange to red flowers that emerge from the center of the rosette, typically in winter or spring.
- Light: Aloe vanbalenii thrives in bright, indirect sunlight. Place it near a sunny window where it can receive several hours of sunlight per day. Protect it from intense, direct sunlight, particularly during the hottest part of the day.
- Watering: Water Aloe vanbalenii sparingly, allowing the soil to dry out partially between waterings. It is drought-tolerant and prefers infrequent but deep watering. Ensure that the pot has adequate drainage to prevent waterlogging, as this can lead to root rot.
-
Temperature: Aloe vanbalenii prefers warm temperatures between 18°C to 27°C. Protect it from temperatures below 10°C, as prolonged cold exposure can damage the plant.
