Aloe Succulent 'Tiger Tooth'
Botanical Name: Aloe juvenna
Common Names: Tiger Tooth Aloe
Native to Kenya, the Tiger Tooth's leaves are bright green (reddish to brown in full sun), toothy and flecked with cream-white prominent spots. Porous soil with adequate drainage is best. Only water the plant thoroughly when soil is dry to the touch. This plant does best in temperatures of 60 - 80 °F.
NATIVE LAND: Kenya
WATER: Drought tolerant and in actuality, would prefer you neglect it on watering. It doesn’t need frequent watering. Watering once a month will do it just fine. Adding diluted fertilizer to young and newly transplanted plants encourages growth.
LIGHT: Grows best in full sun or partial shade in warm, dry regions. If growing indoors, avoid putting her/him in bright, direct sunlight in the afternoon. When grown in bright light, the leaves tend to develop reddish or brownish tones.
ISSUES: Root rot leading to plant falling apart - caused by overwatering
BENEFITS: Air purification and very tough, adapting well to new environments
PET/KID FRIENDLY: Nontoxic to humans; may be harmful to cat and dogs.
