About this plant
Lace aloe is a compact rosette succulent from South Africa, sold as Aristaloe aristata and formerly known as Aloe aristata. Its narrow, toothed leaves are dark green, speckled with raised white dots and tipped with soft white bristles. It forms clusters of offsets over time and can send up orange-red tubular flowers.
It handles Dubai conditions well. Indoors it wants a bright window with some direct sun. Outdoors it is comfortable on balconies and patios in the cooler months and, in summer, prefers afternoon shade, since intense midday sun can turn the leaves reddish-brown. It needs very little water and will rot if kept wet.
It suits sunny windowsills, desks near windows, balconies and mixed succulent bowls. We offer it from small 5–10 cm pots up to 10–15 cm plants, in nursery or ceramic pots.

Care Guide for Dubai Homes
How to keep Lace Aloe healthy through the Dubai year.
Light
Bright light with some direct sun; afternoon shade outdoors in summer. Keep it out of harsh direct afternoon sun in summer.
Watering
Every 2–3 weeks indoors, every 10–14 days outdoors in summer; very little in winter. Water when the top 2 to 3 cm of soil feels dry, empty the saucer afterwards, and check the soil before you water: AC slows how fast the plant uses water.
Care notes
Soil: Gritty cactus and succulent mix. Feeding: Diluted cactus feed once or twice in spring and summer. Common mistake: Letting water collect in the rosette, which can rot the center. Where it works: Sunny windowsills, desks near windows, balconies and succulent bowls.
AC and air flow
Keep it at least 1 metre from AC vents. Cold air blowing straight onto the leaves dries the edges.
Cleaning the leaves
Dust settles quickly in Dubai homes. Wipe the leaves with a damp cloth every few weeks so they keep taking in light.
Feeding and repotting
Feed once a month from March to October. Repot every 2 years into a pot one size up, or book a Plant Doctor visit and we do it for you.
Pets
Not listed in the ASPCA database (checked under Lace Aloe, Aloe aristata, Aristaloe aristata and Torch Plant). Check with your vet if you have pets.
