Description:
The species was named in the honor Dorothy Westhead of London. It is a wonderful rosette-shaped succulent; formed by long curved leaves, glossy and with rather close and well visible marginal teeth. The epidermis assumes pleasing greenish-yellow tones that change into red-orange, the more it gets exposed to the sun. A. dorotheae generates such a unique combination of colors, comparable to the shades of the sunset, that it is called also "Aloe sunset". At the beginning of spring, its flowers bloom on long stems thus colouring the environment in greenish-yellow tones. Aloe dorotheae is a real mix of bold shapes and attractive colors, perfect to give an extra gear to your environments!

Plant care:
It requires a lot of light all year round, however avoiding direct sunlight especially during the hottest hours of the day.
It is preferable to keep it at mild temperatures, but never below 8 °C, for this reason it is recommended to shelter it during the winter period.
Water moderately only when the soil is completely dry. It is enough to water the plant once every two weeks in spring and summer, once every two months in autumn and completely suspend watering in winter.
A well-draining and at the same time nourishing soil is an optimal solution. A mix of 60% of peat and 40% of inert materials is a perfect combination.
They do not need frequent fertilization, it is sufficient to dilute the fertilizer with watering once a year.
