Description:

The plant, commonly known as Torch Plant or Aristaloe, is a small succulent with a spreading habit that reaches no more than 20-30 cm in height. Its dark green leaves form rosettes and can grow up to about 15 cm in length, featuring spines, white tubercles, and bristles at the apex. It typically produces tubular orange flowers that attract bees with their nectar, blooming in early summer. This versatile plant can be used in rock gardens, as ground cover in dry garden areas, in greenhouses, or as an indoor plant in shallow pots.

Origin:

Aristaloe is native to South Africa.

History:

This plant has been valued for its beauty and resilience for centuries, used in ornamental gardening and as an indoor plant in various cultures.

Watering:

It prefers dry, sandy soil for good drainage. It is recommended to water moderately, allowing the soil to dry out between waterings. During winter, watering should be minimized or even discontinued if grown near the sea.

Pruning:

Regular pruning is not necessary, but you can remove wilted or damaged leaves to maintain its aesthetic appearance.

Care:

Aristaloe prefers full sun exposure or very light shade in very warm climates. Indoors, it's important to place it near a window to ensure proper lighting. It does not tolerate frost and benefits from a winter rest period between 7 and 10°C. During spring and summer, it can be fertilized biweekly with a mineral fertilizer for cacti. Avoid overwatering, which can lead to root rot and yellowing of the leaves. It can be propagated easily from offsets produced at the base, in pots with well-draining, slightly moist soil in a bright location but without direct sunlight.
