Growing instructions:
Sow seeds indoors in a well-drained, sandy mix, keeping the soil warm (around 22–26°C) and lightly moist. Transplant outdoors after the last frost, ensuring the soil is well-drained. Water sparingly, as Aloe cooperi is drought-tolerant and prefers dry conditions once established. It thrives in areas with plenty of sunlight and can be propagated by offsets.
