Gasteria carinata aka Roundtip Aloe

Caring for Roundtip Aloe is a breeze, as it is highly adaptable and forgiving to minor neglect.

Roundtip Aloe does best in dry soil and should only be watered sparingly.

When growing the Roundtip Aloe, it's important to use a potting soil that is well-draining and does not retain excessive moisture. An optimal soil mix should contain a high proportion of perlite or vermiculite for good drainage and some organic matter for nourishment. Simply add a few scoops of perlite to regular cactus soil to achieve this.

To ensure optimal growth, the Roundtip Aloe prefers bright indirect light for 6-8 hours each day. Insufficient light can result in slow growth and leaf drop, so it's important to find a well-lit location for this plant. Place it near a window, within a distance of 1 meter (3 feet), to enhance its potential for thriving.

Roundtip Aloe is not known to cause harm to humans or pets.

Roundtip Aloe plants thrive in dry environments, however, if you choose to provide extra humidity or mist your plant, the lingering water on the leaves can create an ideal environment for certain types of harmful fungi.
