Aloe variegata - 5.5cm

The botanical name of this succulent is *Aloe variegata*. Synonyms often used include *Aloe ausana*, *Aloe punctata*, or *Aloe variegata var. Haworthii*. In German, it is known as Tiger Aloe. The succulent belongs to the genus *Aloe*, which is classified in the family Asphodelaceae. This succulent is native to the South African provinces of Northern Cape, Western Cape, Eastern Cape, and Free State, as well as Namibia and Botswana.

Aloe variegata is green and has a rosette growth form. The flower is pink, tubular, and arranged in clusters. It blooms between June and August. You will receive a plant in a 6cm pot, with a total height of approximately 15cm (pot and plant). The plant can reach a height of 20cm to 25cm.
Caring for the Aloe variegata is relatively simple. A mixture of cactus and succulent soil is suitable as a substrate. The Aloe variegata does not tolerate waterlogging, so good drainage should be ensured and the substrate should be allowed to dry out before watering again. Generally, this succulent tolerates less water rather than too much. Fertilizing is possible every three to four weeks.
This succulent needs a bright to semi-shaded location. This means an east or west window, but even a north window is best suited. The optimal temperature is between 20°C and 30°C. Aloe variegata can spend the summer outdoors after gradually acclimating it to direct sunlight. In winter, the temperature should be around 15°C. Furthermore, fertilizing is stopped and watering is reduced. However, the plant is not suitable for the garden.
The leaf bark of the Aloe variegata contains a poisonous sap, and we cannot guarantee its compatibility with animals.

Please note: Sizes and shapes may vary for plants, as each item is unique. This is especially true in winter or when availability is low. The color also varies depending on the season.
