Water
Allow soil to dry out completely between waterings. Overwatering is the most common cause of problems. Reduce watering significantly during winter dormancy, providing just enough to prevent the leaves from shriveling.
Lace Aloe (Aristaloe aristata) is a small, clump-forming succulent with triangular, toothed leaves that produce delicate coral-colored flowers on tall spikes.

Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Allow soil to dry out completely between waterings. Overwatering is the most common cause of problems. Reduce watering significantly during winter dormancy, providing just enough to prevent the leaves from shriveling.
Pruning is generally not required for Lace Aloe. Remove any dead or dried leaves at the base of the plant to maintain a tidy appearance and prevent potential rot. This also improves air circulation.
Lace Aloe readily produces offsets (pups) at the base of the mother plant. These can be carefully separated when they are a few centimeters tall and potted into their own well-draining soil mix.
Allow the cut surface to callus before planting.
Repot every 2-3 years, or when the plant outgrows its container, preferably in spring. Use a fast-draining succulent or cactus potting mix. Ensure the new pot has drainage holes to prevent waterlogged roots.
