Aloe ferox
Aloe ferox is fierce in name and form (ferox meaning fierce in latin). Their leaves are lined with sharp red/brown spines, and there to deter herbivores. Recognisable by its woody stem topped by a rigid rosette of sword-shaped, blue-green leaves, and their bright orange-red flowers emerging from a branching spike during spring.
Watering
Water thoroughly and regularly when soil is 100% dry during the spring/summer months. Refrain from watering during the winter months.
Light requirements
Full sun.
Feed
Use a cactus fertiliser 3 times between March - November.
Repotting
This species can live in the same pot for several years. Repotting may only be necessary once every 2-3 years (or longer), once roots begin to protrude out of the drainage holes. Use a well draining cactus compost, adding extra drainage medium such as perlite, pumice or grit.
