I believe that most of the flower loving friends know the two varieties of sea tiger aloe and arbor aloe, but few people can distinguish them clearly. They are often asked on the Internet or by their friends. Is there any difference between the two kinds of flowers? How about it? Indeed, if you look at it inadvertently or at a distance, you really think that both aloes look the same. However, if you pay attention to the observation, you will find that these two aloes are really different!

Difference 1: leaves

The leaves of the sea tiger orchid are long triangles, and the length of the leaves is not very long, about ten centimeters. The edge of the leaf is arranged in an orderly manner, with sharp spines.

The leaves of Aloe arborescens are very long, about 30 cm. The width of the leaves is about the same as that of the sea tiger orchids. The edges of the leaves are also thorny, but they are not so sharp as the leaves of sea tiger orchids.

Difference 2: the height of the whole plant

The height of the whole plant of sea tiger aloe is relatively high, about 50cm-100cm.

The height of Aloe arborescens is 1 to 2 meters, and its shape is very similar to that of trees.

Difference 3: growing environment

There are two key points for the suitable growth environment of sea tiger orchid:

Like warm and ventilated environment. So in spring and summer, you can get outdoor culture. In winter, you'd better take indoor culture back. The temperature is the best constant temperature, because its cold resistance is general, and the temperature is too low to cause freezing damage. Ventilation is also essential, and the soil for planting sea tiger orchid must be air permeable, otherwise, if the ventilation is not good in rainy season or humid weather, it's Roots and leaves will be affected to a certain extent, if serious, they will rot.

Like sunshine. Sunshine is essential for the growth of sea tiger aloe, but it should be noted that no matter the sunshine is too strong or too little, the growth of aloe is bound to suffer a series of hazards, among which the plant is short and thin.

Compared with the growth environment of sea tiger aloe, the growth environment of arbor aloe has not too many requirements. Because it has strong resistance to dry and cold. But Aloe arborescens is not resistant to soil moisture, which is similar to aloe sea tiger.
