Aloe bakeri [exclusive] [large]

Highlights

Aloe bakeri (Scott-Elliot): Spidery, clustering Aloe of green to reddish-bronze toothed leaves with white splotches. It is a vigorous grower that produces many rosettes of narrow, upright leaves up to 8.0" tall. Growing in bright sun will result in denser, redder rosettes. It tends to bloom in fall by sending up a tall spike with tubular yellow and coral flowers. This plant is fully rooted in a 3.5" round, plastic pot.

Soft succulents will not survive a hard frost, but if there is a risk of freezing temperatures they can be brought indoors to grow on a sunny window sill or under a grow light. They need ample sunlight, great drainage, and infrequent water to prevent rot. Pick containers with drainage holes and use well-draining cactus and succulent soil with 50% to 70% mineral grit such as coarse sand, pumice, or perlite. Water deeply enough for water to run out the drainage hole, then wait for the soil to fully dry before watering again.
