Plant Care:
Tips on how to care for your plant successfully:
Light: Aristaloe aristata prefers full sun to partial shade. It will also grow well indoors in bright light conditions
Soil: Aristaloe aristata is not fussy regarding its soil conditions, but they do require a fast draining soil.
Potting: Aristaloe aristata grows well in containers. Always ensure that a free draining potting medium is used. We recommend a good quality potting mix with the addition of fine gravel and perlite to improve the drainage. Re-potting of plants is best done in spring, the beginning of the growing period.
Watering: Once established Aristaloe aristata is a water wise plant and can withstand drought like conditions for short periods.
Plants growing in containers should be watered thoroughly and then allowed to dry our completely before watering again. Your plant should never stand in a drip tray with water after watering for any length of time. It is always best to pour this excess water off.
Fertiliser: Aristaloe aristata will benefit from applications of a balanced water-soluble fertiliser during spring and summer. Always use a very dilute solution of ¼ to ½ of the recommended dilution rate.
