Commonly known as Fan Aloe, Aloe plicatilis develops a woody stem and, with age, can become a wonderfully architectural, branching specimen.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis plant has already developed a beautiful stem base and has been carefully cultivated at TOMs FLOWer CLUB over several years. It has been grown slowly and naturally, without being pushed with excessive fertiliser – because at TOMs FLOWer CLUB, 100% organic quality comes before quantity. The result is a healthy, robust and well-established plant with a natural, mature character.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe plant is already potted in TOM's own self-mixed, highly permeable organic substrate. Repotting is therefore not necessary for the next 2–3 years unless you specifically wish to do so.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eKumara plicatilis is relatively easy to care for when given the right conditions: a very bright to sunny position, excellent drainage and careful watering. After its winter resting period, it can resume active growth and flower, producing attractive yellowish to orange-red flower spikes. At TOMs FLOWer CLUB, the plants are given a cooler winter rest at around 10–15 °C with reduced watering.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis is not a hardy plant and must be protected from frost and freezing temperatures. During the warmer months, a sunny outdoor position can be particularly beneficial, provided temperatures remain suitable.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWith its unusual fan-shaped foliage, developing trunk and architectural form, Aloe plicatilis makes a genuine statement plant – an eye-catching addition to a succulent or collector's plant collection that becomes increasingly impressive with age.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eEnjoy your new Aloe plicatilis as it continues to develop its characteristic fan-shaped growth and woody stem over the years.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eYou will receive the displayed plant.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"tomsflowerclub.ch","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56965054103938,"sku":null,"price":148.0,"currency_code":"CHF","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0534\/7734\/3406\/files\/Aloe-Plicatilis-fan-aloe-TOMs-FLOWer-CLUB-10.jpg?v=1791234808","url":"https:\/\/tomsflowerclub.ch\/products\/aloe-plicatilis-fan-aloe","provider":"tomsflowerclub.ch","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
