Aloe Peglerae - 4 inch + Plastic Pot

Aloe Peglerae is an evergreen perennial succulent in the Liliaceae family. It has narrow, upright fleshy greyish-green leaves that are curved inward in a rosette form, lined with tiny white spikes. This plant is a slow grower and fits well in most pots and planters. This aloe species was named after a plant collector, Alice Pegler. As Aloe Peglerae matures, it can reach up to 0.5 feet tall. In late summer (July-August), matured Aloe Peglerae plants might produce soft red tubular flowers with a dark red filament protruding from the flower tube. Plants may be shipped bare root. This species is more light-sensitive than other Aloes. It prefers indirect, filtered light. If exposed to too much direct sunlight, the leaves will turn reddish. This plant is drought tolerant and does not need regular watering. Water only when the soil is dry to the touch. Water moderately during the growing season, sparingly in the winter. Aloe requires well-drained and porous soil to grow healthy. Water should be drained fast to avoid over-absorption to roots. It is better to use a soil mix that does not settle in water for long. This plant thrives in temperatures of 40°F-85°F and it loves room temperatures between 65°F-80°F. Protect it from frost if grown outdoors. This plant should be fertilized once during the growing season (spring/summer) with diluted houseplant fertilizer.
