Koby's Garden Alchemy's video: Aloe x spinosissima Spider Aloe soft-spines look fierce--but are harmless Hummingbird magnet

Aloe x spinosissima (the Spider Aloe) has soft-spines. It looks fierce, but it’s as harmless as a kitten. Those rough-looking edges supply superb textural qualities to the garden. Dulled blue-green leaf color is easy to integrate with most pallets, AND fiery flowering torches signal – Spring is just around the corner. This particular Aloe is a hummingbird magnet, surprisingly they . . . (continue this story with my short video presentation). note: some Aloes can get an Aloe mite (growth that looks knarled and contorted), this variety may get it (or it may not, the plant in this video has not had any, since it was planted 12 years prior). IF your Aloe gets mites, you may first try to entirely cut out that (bad looking) section, or apply a miticide (from your garden supplier), following instructions on the product. This Aloe branches from base and sides and will eventually fill in again, with good care. Everyone is welcome to look and get inspiration. This video is only an introduction, not surpassing on-site consultation from a professional. Hopefully, this will plant a seed that furthers curiosity and exploration of the wonders around us.
