Product Details

Highlights

Aloe 'Purple Haze' PP32,604 (Griffin): A fiercely bumpy Aloe with the potential for out-of-this-world colors! The long leaves have a blue-green base tone that shifts to a vibrant lilac when stressed by full sun and drought. It can also show pink hues, particularly on the irregular teeth that line its leaves. Originally grown in a 3.5" pot. For protection in transit, this plant ships bare root, wrapped in paper. 

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 bright 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.

This plant does not tolerate freezing temperatures, so in zone 5 it will need to be indoors for much of the year. Transplant it into a pot with a drainage hole and use a well-draining soil like Bonsai Jack's Gritty Mix. Keep it in a south-facing window sill or under a strong, Succulent Grow Light. Drench deeply enough for water to run out the drainage hole, then allow the soil to completely dry out and don't water again until the leaves start to feel flexible. Once all risk of frost has passed, you can gradually move it outdoors to partial then full sun over the course of about two weeks. Sunshine and drought will get you the best colors on these (and most!) succulents. Enjoy!

Because of the popularity of Aloe vera, it tends to be dramatically overrepresented in research. As such, the health benefits of other aloes are not well known. What is known is that many aloes contain aloin, a compound known for its antibacterial, antiinflamitory and even anticaner properties. What is also known is that some aloes are mildly toxic.

For a more specific example, Aloe ferox has shown to have the above properties and is useful in boosting the effects of other medication. Research of such things is fairly preliminary though.

Shop Succulent Soil Here

Succulents need grittier soil than other plants because they are adapted to dry conditions and store water in their leaves. Regular potting soil mixes stay damp for long periods of time, which can cause rot in succulents. Instead, use a sandy, well-draining soil so you can water thoroughly without leaving your succulent in standing water.

Our plants can be transplanted immediately upon arrival.
If you want to wait to transplant, they can remain in their original containers for up to a month. If the pots came in a plastic carrier tray, remove the pots from the carrier tray prior to the first watering.

Keep the plants indoors near a sunny window or outdoors under a roof (only if outdoor temperatures stay above your succulent's minimum hardiness temperature). Water only after the soil is fully dry by drenching from above with a faucet, hose, or watering can. Gently shake excess water from the leaves and allow containers to drain completely.

Fertilizing is not necessary, but it is a good option for succulent growers who want to encourage faster, larger growth. It can be used on mature plants with established roots. Only fertilize in the growing season (spring and summer for most varieties) to avoid weakening or burning dormant plants. Use a light touch and make 2-3 applications of low-Nitrogen, diluted fertilizer each year (N-P-K ratio around 5-10-10). You can find specially-formulated cactus / succulent fertilizers in most garden centers or go organic with compost tea or bone meal.

Example: Miracle-Gro Quick Start, diluted to half strength

Succulents need deep, infrequent watering, especially during their growing season and when they are young and establishing roots. Only water after the soil is completely dry and the plant feels less firm. Err on the side of underwatering. Watering too frequently is the most common way to kill succulents.

HOW TO WATER SUCCULENTS

  • Drench from above using a faucet, hose, or watering can
  • Do not mist with a spray bottle (the only exception is for Air Plants)
  • Water until it drains from the container's drainage hole. If your container does not have a drainage hole (not recommended), use about 1/3 the volume of the container…

Different succulent varieties have different light needs. You can find the Recommended Light Conditions on each variety's page by scrolling down to the Product Details. We use four categories of recommended light, and some plants can thrive under a range of light conditions.

LOW INDOOR LIGHT

  • Can grow indoors without direct sun.
  • Placing outdoors in direct sun or on sunny window sills might cause dark burns.
  • There are a limited number of succulent varieties that thrive in low light, notably Haworthia, Gasteria, Peperomia, and some Jade…

Many succulent varieties are only available seasonally because of their growing and propagation cycles. During the growing season, we can usually restock sets and trays weekly. Most individual plants will go in and out of stock through the seasons, but they are also restocked weekly when available. Thursday is usually the best day of the week for finding plants in stock. Spring and Summer are generally the best seasons for availability.

Any product that is out of stock has an "Email me when a product is back in stock" button (shown above). Click the button and enter your email to be notified when it's available again. If this button isn't appearing, the plant may have very recently sold out - check back after a short while and the button should appear.

I have a lot of succulent rescues and some I notice have issues going on that I have not identified yet. Some look like spider mites and meli bugs. I was just wondering if there was an overall spray I can use that would be safe for indoors. See more »

35%-70% isopropyl alcohol works well for killing both mealybugs and spider mites. Spray the affected plant thoroughly, and keep spraying daily until you see no more evidence of pests. General pest prevention strategies include:

Plants with similar light needs tend to work well together in a container. When you're browsing our catalog, you can use the "Recommended Light Conditions" filter on the left of every category page to filter by the amount of sunlight you can provide. If this will be an outdoor container, you'll also want to filter by "Grow Zone (Hardiness)" and pick plants for your USDA Hardiness Zone. If this container will stay indoors year-round, head to our Indoor Succulents Category and then filter by "Low Indoor Light" or "Bright Indoor Light" accordingly.
