Aloe 101

摘要

Get ready to move your plants to make room for a new Aloe. The following article introduces Aloes to you, gives a short history of the genus, soil, watering, sunlight, propagating, and problems. I wind up the class of Aloe 101,with several featured Aloes that will be a must for your greenhouse or on your windowsill. Sources for obtaining them will be at the end. Aloes are faithful bloomers from February to October, and they require minimal care once they have the correct soil, light and watering schedule. Their reward to you is their lofty bloom stalks and long-lasting brilliant colors. They are extremely cheerful and not the complaining type. It is recommended they go outside in the summertime, to enjoy the fresh air, rain, and partial sun/shade they prefer. They will do nicely sitting on the deck or on plant shelves - or even under a tree would be perfect. However, beware of the curious squirrel or chipmunk that might want to find out for himself if Aloes taste good or not and take a bite. This doesn't kill the plant, only makes the leaf scarred until it's time for it to come off.
