{"product_id":"aloe-aristata","title":"Aloe aristata","description":"\u003cp\u003e(aka: Aristaloe aristata) We had already grown Aloe aristata for several years outdoors before I was fortunate to spot it in the wild on my 2005 South African expedition at nearly 9,000' elevation. Here, it grew wedged in the rocks on a nearly sheer cliff face. In cold climates, do not plant it out in the open where rains can soak it during the winter months. Planting it near a hedge or large shrub where it can still get afternoon sun is perfect. The 9-year-old clump in our rock garden is now 6\" tall x 15\" wide, composed of haworthia-like rosettes of stiff green leaves. The clumps are topped in May with 2' tall spikes of attractive, orange, bell-like flowers. It is not tolerant of winter moisture when temperatures drop below 20 degrees F.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eMaintenance:\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eAloe aristata requires no maintenance in the garden as long as it's growing in the proper conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003ch3\u003eGrowing Conditions:\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eAs mentioned above, it is essential that the rosettes be dry in the winter when grown in climates that drop below freezing in winter.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003ch3\u003eGarden Value:\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eUse bristle-tip aloe as you would a \u003ca title=\"sempervivum\" href=\"https:\/\/www.plantdelights.com\/collections\/sempervivum\"\u003esempervivum\u003c\/a\u003e or other similar succulent in a rock garden setting.
