Aloe Hemmingii

What is the plant

Aloe hemmingii is an attractive succulent that forms rosettes of shiny, lime green to dark green or orange leaves with numerous white linear spots. The rosettes have 10 to 15 leaves and grow up to 10 inches (25 cm) in diameter. Flowers are yellow to reddish and appear in spring on an unbranched or few-branched inflorescence. This species is very similar to Aloe somaliensis and often erroneously sold as Aloe harlana by many nurseries and garden centers.

How to Care for the Plant

Water
Do not allow the plant to sit in water. Allow the soil to dry through completely before watering again.
Fertilizer
Aloe does not require a high soil fertility. Feeding once a year, in the spring, with a houseplant fertilizer should be sufficient.
Sunlight
It wants high light. As much direct light as possible should be provided, a south or west facing window (in the northern hemisphere) would be ideal. When placing this plant in direct sunlight it should be slowly acclimated over a few days to avoid the risk of leaves scorching or yellowing.
