Light:

Full sun (southern exposure).

Temperature:

As a potted plant, maintain indoor temperatures above 60°.

Humidity:

They will tolerate low levels with no harm even preferring dryness to humid damp conditions.

Watering:

Bring soil to a state of complete dryness between watering. Important: grow them dry.  When watering, thoroughly saturate soil until a little water runs out of the bottom of the pot.  Grow in a clay pot to ensure a quick dry down between waterings. They prefer a little more moisture in the summer and less in the winter.

Fertilizer:

They are light feeders so a 1/4 tsp./gallon once a month is a general recommendation.  When growth actively stops in winter discontinue feeding.  Use a balanced fertilizer i.e. 15-15-15 or a blooming fertilizer like Pro Gro ‘Grow’ 7-9-5 or Electra 5-10-3.

Pruning:

Plant does not need pruning and only very old plants need to be divided.

Insects and Disease:

Aloinopsis have few problems with insects.  They are, however, highly susceptible to bacteria and fungal rots especially during the winter months under excessive soil moisture and cool conditions.  Growing them dry eliminates the problem.

Comments:

Aloinopsis are easy plants to grow, loving sun and dry conditions. Remember to treat them with a little neglect.
