Aloe Vera Variegated

Aloe Vera Variegated is a striking form of Aloe prized for its fleshy, upright leaves marked with attractive creamy-yellow and green striping. The compact rosettes make this Aloe an excellent choice for containers, sunny windowsills, and succulent collections. Like standard Aloe Vera, it is drought tolerant and easy to grow when given plenty of light and well-draining soil.

LIGHT | Bright light to full sun; acclimatize gradually to intense direct sun
COLD TOLERANCE | Protect from frost; best kept above 5°C
WATER | Allow soil to dry completely between waterings; water thoroughly, then allow excess water to drain
SOIL PH | Approximately 6.0–7.5
SOIL TYPE | Very well-draining cactus or succulent soil
FERTILIZER | Feed lightly during active growth with a diluted balanced or succulent fertilizer
PROPAGATION METHODS | Offsets
HUMIDITY LEVEL | Low to average; does not require high humidity
ACTIVE SEASON | Spring to fall
GROWTH HABIT | Compact, upright rosette
FOLIAGE | Fleshy green leaves with distinctive creamy-yellow variegation and small marginal teeth

NOTE | Avoid overwatering, especially during winter. Allow the growing medium to dry thoroughly before watering again. Variegated plants generally grow more slowly than fully green forms and benefit from bright light to maintain strong colour and compact growth.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR ROOTING CUTTINGS 

Insert the cutting into the soil approximately 1" deep. When the soil is dry, water sparingly. Roots should begin to form within approximately two weeks. Keep the plant in bright shade while it is rooting. Once rooted, gradually acclimatize the plant to full sun to prevent the leaves from getting sunburned.
