      Torch Aloe - Aloe Aristata

      Torch Aloe - Aloe Aristata

      English name:
      Torch Aloe

       Latin name:
      Aloe Aristata

       About me:

      I am really hardy, I produce an orange tubular flower once a year and I am evergreen.

      Not bad at all for a small plant like me!

       Origin: 
      I am native to the mountain grasslands of Lesotho and southern Africa.

       

      Temperature:

      I'm not really fussy and I should be able to cope with most temperatures.

       Water:

      Only water me when my soil feels dry to the touch because I am draught resistant. 


       Height/Growth:
      I can grow up to 30cm in height with a spread of around 40-60cm. But don't you worry I am not in rush and I grow slowly.
       
       Feed:

      Feed me a balanced succulent fertiliser 2 or 3 times in the growing season 

       Care:

      Re-pot me every couple of year in a mix of well drained, gritty soil.

       Toxicity:

      Don't eat me, this could cause severe discomfort!

       

      Orchid Cactus - Epiphyllum Pumilum

      Orchid Cactus - Epiphyllum Pumilum

      If you see me flowering you will be really impressed, I produce lots of off-white fragrant blooms that resemble Orchids flowers.

      Also my reliable bloom  if pollinated will produce a small edible fruit like the Pitaya. (Dragonfruit) and I am by far the most rewarding maintenance free house plant.

      Please, don't let me dry out, I like my soil moist in spring & summer and I can do with a little bit less water in autumn & winter.

      The Orchid Cactus is native to Central America and prefers bright & indirect light.

      Staghorn Fern - Platycerium Bifurcatum

      Staghorn Fern - Platycerium Bifurcatum

      This is a fascinating houseplant with unusual upper leaves resembling stag's horns, hence the name.

      Platyceriums have a slightly waxy texture which you must not remove (it’s a protective coating) and at the base of the plant you will find flat round basal fronds, or shield fronds, which go brown with age - this is an integral part of the plant so don’t remove or damage these. 

      The lower drooping fronds often have an unusual disk that catches insects for nutrients.
