The Nursery is Growing!

A Growing Nursery

to produce blooms so far. October 2014

Over the past few months, the Aloe Nursery has grown impressively. Eleven sexually mature plants have joined the mother plant in the nursery, expanding class three from a quantity of 1 to a quantity of 12. More than ten new pups are emerging vigorously from the class one plants, comprising class one. Only three Aloe plants, those that have already been separated from their mother, have yet to reach sexual maturity-these in between plants will make up class two.

After nearly a year, the nursery has almost doubled in size (compare photos below). Only three of the smallest transplantees from the beginning of the year did not make it-they were separated from their mother plant too soon and proved to be too premature.

This transplantee will soon rival the original mother plant.
