🌿 Aloe Juvenna (also known as Tiger Tooth Aloe)

Aloe Juvenna is a compact, spiky succulent with triangular green leaves lined with soft “teeth,” giving it its nickname: Tiger Tooth Aloe. It forms upright, stacked rosettes that can develop reddish tones in strong light. This hardy, drought-tolerant plant is perfect for small pots, windowsills, or succulent arrangements.

🔆 Light Requirements

Ideal Light: Bright, indirect light to full sun.
Tolerates: Direct sun for a few hours — will develop reddish hues with more light.
Avoid: Low light, which can cause stretching and weak growth.

💧 Watering Guidelines

When to Water: Let the soil dry out completely between waterings.
Frequency: Every 2–3 weeks in summer; once a month or less in winter.
Important: Do not overwater — like most succulents, Aloe Juvenna is prone to root rot in soggy soil.

🌾 Soil & Potting

Soil: Fast-draining cactus or succulent mix.
Pot: Use a pot with drainage holes — shallow containers work well due to its small root system.

🌱 Fertilization

Feed: Once a month during the growing season (spring to early fall) with a diluted succulent fertilizer.
Avoid: Feeding in winter or over-fertilizing, which can harm the plant.

✂️ Pruning & Maintenance

Prune: Remove dried lower leaves or spent flower stalks to keep it tidy.
Offsets: Produces pups at the base that can be separated and replanted.

🪴 Humidity & Temperature

Humidity: Thrives in dry air; no need for added humidity.
Temperature: Prefers 18–27°C (65–80°F). Protect from frost and cold drafts; avoid temperatures below 10°C (50°F).
