Aloe safari sunrise
Bought this from Dobbies back in 2020. The label indicated it is a summer grower, yes it probably is in South Africa however here in the UK it grows and flowers for me in winter time. The original plant (shown) sent out loads of offsets which I removed, the biggest I potted up and is growing well as a solitary head. The plant you see is in a William Morris design ceramic pot and as you can see the plant is very healthy. A very gritty ji 2 compost.

Nice looker Ernie
Endeavouring to grow Aylostera, Echinocereus, Echinopsis, Gymnocalycium, Matucana, Rebutia, and Sulcorebutia. Fallen out of love with Lithops and aggravated by Aeoniums.
Currently being wooed by Haworthia, attempting hybridisation, and enticed by Mesembs.

Re: Aloe safari sunrise
Thanks. I think the plant benefited from me removing all the offsets and there was loads. I potted some up and gave them away at branch meeting. The remainder got binned, no room. The one you see and the other don't have any offsets, any that appears will be removed.

Re: Aloe safari sunrise
I'm not an Aloe collector although I do have a couple which live with my Haworthias. I find them attractive but it's the flowers which really blow my mind. And yes ... the offsets .... which can go on for ever. You prep a couple of pots for the ones you can see but another dozen lurk below them. Pity to bin them but you soon run out of friends to whom you can give them.
