Grown primarily grown for its attractive succulent rosettes of yellow spots on green leaves with soft white spines, Aloe Aristata belongs to the Aristaloe genus of flowering plants native to South Africa. It commonly called the “slippery one.” The stemless plant produces long, soft, succulent leaves with tubular orange flowers. It’s another unique plant deserving proper care.

This plant grows best in full sun in warm regions and prefers dry weather. It doesn’t need a lot of sunlight. Keep the plant away from direct sunlight. While the plant needs regular watering, remember this is a succulent and is drought tolerant. Allow the top half-inch of soil to dry between watering. Try to pour the water around the base of the plant instead of over the leaves. If water collects in the leaves, you’ll increase the risk of rot. Use a commercial cactus soil mix with excellent drainage or make your own potting mix. If you decide to make your own sandy soil mixture, mix three parts regular potting soil to one part coarse sand, perlite, or pumice.
