Aloe 'Firebird'

Highlights

Aloe 'Firebird' (Lyons): A loose rosette of long, narrow leaves of deep green with small, white speckles. It's a prolific bloomer, sending up a tall bloom stalk with orange, tubular flowers. It also produces lots of new offsets around its base, and can develop into an impressive clump. This cultivar is a hybrid cross of A. descoingsii x A. thompsoniae.

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.
