Aloe Tomentosa- Rare Aloes, Succulents, Cactus, Agaves Plants Agave Cacti

Description: This aloe gets its name from its unique greenish-white flowers that are covered in thick wool. Its species name, tomentosa, means dense wool. The plant forms a large, solitary rosette to two feet tall and about four feet wide. It is a stem-less plant with thick, fleshy, pale green foliage, tapering from a wide base with pointed tips. Sap from the leaves has been used for skin problems and to treat wounds, fevers, headaches, and inflammation of the eyes. In late spring through early summer, it develops its tall, branching, unique flower stalk with the wooly flowers. Use this plant in low-water-use gardens with other aloe species, or plant it in large containers and raised planters. Also use it in rock gardens and among large boulders as an interest plant. It is very easy to grow and maintain. This aloe is native to the mountains around Yemen, Saudi Arabia, and tropics along the African peninsula. -shown in a 2” pot This plant Ships bare root with little or no soil We ship Monday - Friday and we are not responsible for any shipping carrier delays Please open and take out plants as soon as they arrive and immediately and plant in soil.

They are often found in hot, arid climates such as the desert and have adapted to tolerate long periods of drought. There are many varieties of succulents and cacti that come from all over the world. For best results each plant has individual needs, but there are general rules for succulent and cactus plant care. Water - If your container has drainage holes, water thoroughly when dry during the active growth period. If your container does not have drainage holes, water sparingly to moisten soil but be sure water does not pool up at the bottom of container which can cause rotting. Allow soil to dry between watering. In the winter, assuming typical house temperatures, watering is reduced to once a month to a light misting. Essentially, you only want to maintain the roots. The pot should not be wet. In the case of leafy succulents, do not water at all until you see active growth in the spring. Light - Place plant in a brightly lit south facing window indoors or an area with bright, indirect light outdoors. Some plants can tolerate full sun but must be gradually acclimated to prevent sunburn. If the light source is inadequate, etiolation will occur, and your plant will become leggy as it stretches out towards a light source. Soil - Succulents and cacti like soil that is well aerated and fast draining. Perlite or pumice mixed with soil work well for this, or you can pick up cactus/succulent mix from your local nursery.
