Aloe Barbadensis By Shree Siddhi Vinayak Herbs

We are manufacturing and supplying of from Sojat, Rajasthan, India. Aloe barbadensis, barbados aloe is a clump forming aloe that is a major source of the aloe used for medicinal purposes. The grey-green glaucous leaves are in basal rosettes and narrowly lanceolate to 2 feet (60 cm) long. The leaf margins are armed with whitish to reddish teeth. They make excellent houseplants and are very easy to grow. They are hardy in usda zones 9-12.

blooming: in late spring to early summer, the 1 inch yellow flowers form on 3 foot-long (1 m) racemes.

culture: aloe barbadensis need full sun to partial shade. If grown in the home, they need very high interior lighting with a well drained soil mix. In the greenhouse, we use a soil mix consisting of 1 part peat moss to 1 part loam to 2 parts sand or perlite. The plants are well watered and allowed to dry before watering again. The plants are fertilized only once during the growing season with a balanced fertilizer. In the home environment, temperatures should range between a high of 85A f (30A c) to a low of 50A f (10 cA ). During the winter months, water only enough to keep the plants from shriveling.

propagation: aloe barbadensis is propagated by culturing offshoots or by seed when available.
