Gasteraloe Tarantula
Without doubt, one of the most fun and weird looking hybrid that came from a Gasteria and Aloe. This strange and fussy looking aloe is one of the most unique and rare aloe hybrids you can find in any commercial nursery. For all Aloe lovers and enthusiast succulent collectors, this aloe variety can’t be left out of your list of must have plants.

It forms round rosettes, with beautifully densely covered with soft teeth. Gasterias hybridize easily and cross pollination can produce interesting hybrid plants. Tarantula is one of the more distinctive varieties. It will clump.
Leaves: Short, semi soft, triangular, pointed, dark green,
It is a slow growing but long-lived plant of easy culture which makes it a good houseplant and can be an excellent subject for the beginner enthusiast. (It can grow easily on windowsills, verandas and in miniature succulent gardens where it is happy to share its habitat with other smaller succulent plants). It is a hardy and attractive small plant that can withstand light frost and wetter conditions than most other aloes.
Exposure: It needs light shade to shade but will take full sun part of the day.
Watering: During the hot summer months, the soil should be kept moist but not overly wet.
Hardiness: Frost hardy to -1°C.

Awesome Aloes

Aloes are interesting the way they display differences. Sometimes it’s just color, sometimes their shape. The tarantula aloe appears fuzzy. Its structure is strong looking and has hints of white color.
