Aloe Safari Sunrise ('X5'PBR)

In containers grow in a loam-based potting compost with extra added sharp sand or horticultural grit. Position plants in full sun. Water freely in growth and apply a balanced liqid fertiliser every month during the growing season. Move plants under glass or to a very sheltered corner during winter and keep the compost almost dry. Outdoors it can survive brief spells at -6°C if kept dry at the roots.
