Aloe vaotsanda is a very nice, solitary, non-branching Madagascan tree aloe, set apart primarily by its unique flowers on long, tapering, bendable, channeled glaucous leaves that tend to grow straight out or down, and then curl inward at the ends (looking a bit like an Octopus with too many arms). Grows up to 12’ tall but rather slower to get there than lets say Aloe vaombe. Leaf margins armed with rather soft but large whitish sometimes slight hooked teeth. Leaves remain on stem creating a skirt of dead leaves. Flowers in winter are short, highly branched inflorescences with small, tightly packed, conical racemes heading in all directions (not upright as the norm for most aloes). Racemes rather narrow and bright red their entire lengths until last one or two flowers that suddenly turn yellow as they open. It is an attractive and rapidly becoming popular species in California but with only moderate cold tolerance (down to about 2 -seedling Displayed in a 2.5” pot seedling -Sun grown *Plants ships bareroot* We ship Monday - Friday. we are not responsible for any shipping carrier delays or damaged packages caused by USPS.

BASIC SUCCULENT AND CACTI CARE TIPS: Succulents and cacti are water wise plants that store water in their leaves, stems or roots, creating a plump or succulent appearance. 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.
