Aloe descoingsii Care Guide

• Aloe descoingsii thrives in bright, indirect light to perform optimally.
• While it can tolerate direct sunlight, it should be placed at a distance in the long run since leaf scorching is possible.
• Place it in front of a sunny window with filtered light when growing indoors.
• The plant becomes leggy and loses its round shape when light is limited.

• Use a sandy or cactus potting mix with good drainage to prevent rotting the roots.
• Ensure that the pot is well-drained to prevent water from being retained in the soil.
• Repot the plant every two to three years to refresh the soil and provide it with growing room.

• Water sparingly and allow the soil to dry completely between waterings.
• Root rot is caused by overwatering, so make sure to check the soil moisture before watering.
• Water less during winter since the plant is dormant.
• Water lightly if leaves are wrinkled, but don’t overwater the soil.

• Maintain temperatures at 65–80°F (18–27°C) for optimal growth.
• Avoid frost around the plant since low temperatures may scorch its leaves.
• Maintain good air circulation to prevent fungal infection, especially indoors.

• Fertilize the plant with a dilute succulent fertilizer once a month during spring and summer.
• Do not fertilize during winter so that it can experience its natural phase of dormancy.
• Fertilize using a balanced, low-nitrogen fertilizer to stimulate healthy leaf and root development.

Aloe descoingsii Propagation

• Aloe is propagated using offsets that develop at the base of the plant.
• Gently pull apart the offsets and dry out for one day before potting in new soil.
• Water sparingly after propagation to assist in root development.
