Spider Aloe: Spiky Rosettes with Room to Branch

Aloe × spinosissima forms rosettes of long green leaves edged with small teeth. Its branching habit and developing offsets can create an eye-catching clump over time.

• 🌿 Branching form: New offsets add more rosettes as the plant grows.
• ✨ Toothed edges: Small spines outline the fleshy green leaves.
• 🌸 Warm-colored flowers: Mature plants can send up orange-pink blooms.

Spider Aloe brings lively texture to a sunny pot with space for its expanding clump.

Care Tips

Light: Provide bright light and introduce direct sun gradually. Offer afternoon shade in intense summer heat.

Water: Water thoroughly when the soil has dried, then let excess water drain. Reduce watering during cool weather or slow growth.

Soil: Use a gritty, fast-draining succulent mix in a pot with drainage holes.

Temperature: Protect from hard freezes and cold, wet soil; use a sheltered container where winters are cold.

Handling: Take care around the toothed leaves when repotting.

Care Instructions

Please visit our Succulent Care info page for more details.

To ensure the health of succulents, it is important to plant them in porous, well-draining soil. Succulents require little watering, but don't like to sit in wet soil. To create an adequate cactus mix, simply add pumice, perlite, or grit to cactus soil to provide the proper drainage.

Allow the soil to dry to the level recommended in the Care Tips above before watering again. Always drain excess water.

Weather Conditions

• When ordering, be mindful that living succulents can freeze. If you live in an area that is below 40°F, please consider purchasing plant until the weather is more suitable.
