{"product_id":"ps-1ltr-hp-alo-ver","title":"Aloe – Low-Maintenance Succulent Houseplant (12cm Pot)","description":"\u003cp\u003eAloe (Aloe vera) is one of the best known houseplants of all, grown for its thick, fleshy grey-green leaves arranged in a bold upright rosette.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is a true succulent, storing water in its leaves so it copes well with an occasional missed watering and suits anyone who wants an easy, forgiving plant for a bright spot indoors.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt arrives as an established plant ready to place on a windowsill, kitchen shelf, desk or any bright room. Give it bright, indirect light rather than prolonged harsh direct sun, and plant it into a free-draining cactus or succulent compost. Water sparingly, letting the compost dry out fully between waterings, as it is far more likely to suffer from overwatering than neglect.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFeeding is rarely needed, at most a dilute succulent feed once or twice during the growing season. Mature plants may produce tubular yellow to orange flowers in summer, and over time can produce offsets, or pups, at the base which can be potted on separately.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAloe vera is toxic to cats, dogs and rabbits if eaten, so it is worth keeping it out of reach of pets that like to chew on houseplants.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCultural Information\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBotanical Name:\u003c\/strong\u003e Aloe vera\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCommon Name:\u003c\/strong\u003e Aloe Vera\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFully Grown Height and Spread:\u003c\/strong\u003e Approx. 60-100cm tall and 60-90cm wide (conditions dependent)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrowth Habit:\u003c\/strong\u003e Upright, rosette-forming succulent\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePerfect For:\u003c\/strong\u003e Windowsills, kitchens, offices and bright indoor rooms\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFoliage:\u003c\/strong\u003e Thick, fleshy grey-green to green lance-shaped leaves\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlowering Time:\u003c\/strong\u003e Summer, on mature plants only\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlower Colour:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yellow to orange\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlanting Position:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bright, indirect light\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSoil Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Free-draining cactus or succulent compost\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHardiness:\u003c\/strong\u003e Tender indoor plant, keep above about 5C\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaintenance:\u003c\/strong\u003e Low.
