Re: Aloe erinacea?
It's inevitable that leaf tips will dry up sooner or later - it's just the natural life-cycle of each leaf. Judges should only consider it a problem if it is an excessive proportion of the total plant i.e. the plant has been starved for some reason or another. Personaly, I think the maculate Aloe like A. davyana, look rather good with their withered, blunt leaves.
Best wishes,
Dere Tribble

Re: Aloe broomii?
Thanks for the tip vic, I'll remember that!
You can take the boy out of the greenhouse, but you can't take the greenhouse out of the boy!

Re: Aloe melanacantha
That's strange Tina, the centre right 'leaf' seems to have a 'tooth' in the centre of it as opposed to the edge!!

Re: Aloe melanacantha
Hi maria
yes I noticed that the back spine was getting more pronounced, it must be a maturity thing.
I have another larger plant but I still can't find it, when/if I do I'll take a photo to compare .

Re: Aloe melanacantha
Tina,
These are 2 years from seed. You have done well with yours.
I'm probably a bit mean when it comes to watering.

Re: Aloe erinacea?
Offtopic - Aloenut, what are the tiny seedlings in the pot to the right of the baby aloes? It looks like Giant's Causeway scaled down.
