Notas de cultivo
Aloe vaombe will retain the dried lower leaves to create an armed 'beard' or 'skirt' helps defend the plant from predation. If you prefer, this beard may be removed by briskly rubbing off the old leaves. This is an aesthetic consideration that won't affect the plant either way. Leaving the dead lower leaves from the beginning can create a picturesque natural look.
Once the flower stalks are completely bloomed out and dry, they will come out with a light tug, or can be pruned off low in the crown.
Interés especial
The trunk is thin and graceful, under broad recurved leaves; a stunningly beautiful aloe at full size.
Exceptional plant at attracting hummingbirds.
