Hardy aloe (Aloiampelos striatula)

Hardy aloe

Aloiampelos striatula is a robust rambling plant that can form a large shrub of up to 2 m in height. It is closely related to Cape Town's Aloiampelos commixta, but it is easily distinguished from it by the distinctive dark green stripes on the stems and leaf sheathes (its species name, striatula, means "little stripes"), and by its thin, recurved leaves.

Pruning: Hardy aloe is a drought-resistant succulent featuring vibrant yellow flowers. Prune in early spring using clean, sharp tools to promote airflow and reduce pests. Light pruning encourages healthy, compact growth, while avoiding heavy pruning aids recovery.

Propagation: Hardy aloe can be propagated through cuttings from healthy, non-flowering stems. Make a clean cut below a node and remove lower leaves. Allow the cutting to dry slightly before planting in well-draining soil. Provide indirect light and monitor moisture levels for successful rooting.
