Aloe dorotheae - Sunset Aloe

Highlights

Sunset Aloe (Aloe dorotheae): A colorful plant with a vigorous, clumping growth habit. This species has spotted leaves with deeply serrated margins. It has a lime green base color, but will readily flush a bright, glossy red when moderately stressed by full sun or drought. Eventually, it can reach 2.0' wide and 1.0' tall.

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.
