Many species grow in cooler months and slow down in heat. Watch leaf renewal and compost condition to adapt watering to their cycle without encouraging growth during dormancy. Explore Aloinopsis.

General care

  • Light: Plenty of light during growth; protect from the strongest sun in summer dormancy.
  • Watering: Water moderately during active cooler months; keep almost dry during summer dormancy.
  • Compost: Very mineral, free-draining mix without standing water.
  • Temperature: Ventilated position protected from frost and intense heat during dormancy.
  • Maintenance: Leave old dry leaves that protect the plant; do not pull them off.
