Aloe striatula

18 years ago

Has anybody ever grown the very cold hardy Aloe striatula (not striata - 2 differents ones) as I'm looking to try it here. Anybody be prepared to sell me/swap for a couple of cuttings or know where I could get it?

Thanks

hello,

I am interested as well . Does anyone have a link to a supplier of Aloes and Agaves, preferably in Victoria.

E-bay is fine but there must be a committed grower that we should all know about.

Nice combo there! I had an Aloe 'Hercules' as a trellis for a clematis, but I moved the clematis to a Brunfelsia support instead so it would get watered. 'Hercules' worked really well, though different water requirements makes a long-term pairing...questionable?

Hello Linda I live in Alexandria, Egypt (a climate very similar to costal parts of southern California) and I casually keep few plants. I have been having an Aloe Vera colony for many years now (about 20 years), and to my surprise , I have had one of the old plants shoot a lovely flower. The point is: I grow them in a balcony, so there will probably not be birds or insects to pollinate it. I have thought of using a brush to pollinate it (I am really eager to grow little ones from seed), but I don't know how effective would this be, and if there is any specific technique to do that other than merely passing the brush over the anther and the stigma of same flower/ neighbouring flowers. I have ONLY ONE PLANT in bloom, and I am worried it would not self polinate. Can you give me any idea on that?

There are Aloe striatula seeds on Ebay right now. B&T World Seeds most likely carries this species as well. Mike

Just wondering, did anybody manage to track down Aloe striatula? I saw it offered on Oztion some years ago and am still kicking myself for not buying it. I have not seen it advertized anywhere since then. I recall the advertizer stated that it is "rarely offered". He was not kidding! You'd think such a hardy and attractive Aloe would be as common as Aloe vera, but not so.

Thanks Fran,
I pulled up in a tiny outback town recently and there in the garden bed was an enormous clump of Aloe striatula! I felt certain they wouldn't miss a tiny piece. :)
I am not sure how it will flower yet. Some of the clones in Australia are quite pathetic, others spectacular. I will check out Aloe Aloe.
