Introducing the Lace Aloe, known as Aloe aristata (or Aristaloe aristata) which is vibrant among the aloe genus! The Lace Aloe gets its name from the intricate, lacy patterns on its leaves.

The Aloe aristata of this low-growing perennial succulent. The specific epithet aristata means "bearing bristles or a beard." It is sometimes also known as torch plant, spider aloe, and Guinea-fowl Aloe.


This lace aloe is not just any ordinary houseplant; it's a compact, hardy succulent that has recently undergone reclassification.

The lace aloe is grown primarily for its attractive succulent rosettes with yellow spots and white bumps on dark green leaves with lacy edges and soft white spines.

Hailing all the way from South Africa, the Aloe aristata can grow up to 8 inches tall and 6 inches wide. From wide bottoms to sharper points at the top, these leaves are pure perfection. 

This sun-loving Aloe aristata plant thrives on warmth and dryness; it's like having your very own sunshine-filled oasis indoors or outdoors in xeriscape landscapes. This frost-hardy wonder boasts leaves that mimic the elegance of Haworthia plants and grows at an astonishing pace.  

When it comes to flowering, these pollinator-friendly lace aloe plants bloom with tubular orange-red lace aloe flowers during the sizzling summer months, that attract both bees and hummingbirds alike  talk about being irresistible to nature's most delightful creatures! 

When and How to Water Your Lace Aloe

The Lace Aloe has moderate watering needs. It is a succulent plant that prefers to be underwatered rather than overwatered. Its large, fleshy succulent stems and lanceolate leaves store water for use during times of drought. It's pretty risky to feed it too much water because it doesn't require it because of this adaptation. 

When watering, make sure to thoroughly saturate the soil and then allow it to completely dry before watering again. This Aloe plant is drought-tolerant and can withstand periods of dryness, so it's better to err on the side of underwatering. 

 In the spring and summer, during the active growing season, you can water the Lace Aloe every two to three weeks. However, in the fall and winter, during the dormant period, watering should be reduced to once a month or even less, as the lace aloe plant requires less moisture during this time. It's always a good idea to check the moisture level of the soil before watering to ensure it is dry.

Light Requirements - Where to Place Your Lace Aloe

When growing indoors, the Aloe Aristata prefers bright, indirect light. It thrives in a location with plenty of natural sunlight, such as a south-facing window.  If your home doesn't receive much natural light, you can also use artificial grow lights to provide the necessary light for the plant's growth. Just make sure to position the lights a few feet away from the plant to prevent heat damage. 

For outdoor cultivation, the lace aloe can thrive in full sun and partial shade for at least 4-6 hours per day. It's important to protect the aloe aristata from prolonged, direct sunlight, as it can cause the leaves to become scorched. If you notice the leaves turning brown or yellow, it may be a sign that the aloe aristata plant is receiving too much light.

Remember, finding the right balance of light is crucial for the health of the Lace Aloe.

  1. If the aristata lace aloe isn't receiving enough light, it may become leggy, and its growth may slow down.
  2. On the other hand, too much light can cause the leaves to become discolored or sunburned.

Observing the Aloe aristata response to its current light conditions and making adjustments as needed will help ensure its well-being.

Optimal Soil & Fertilizer Needs

The Lace Aloe thrives in well-drained soil that mimics its natural habitat. A coarse sand or gritty soil mix is ideal for this succulent plant, as it allows excess water to drain away quickly and prevents the roots from sitting in soggy soil. Instead, simply mix garden soil or buy a well-draining potting mix, or ideally use our specialized succulent potting mix that contains 5 natural substrates and mycorrhizae to promote the development of a strong root system that helps your succulent to thrive.

When it comes to fertilizer, the aristaloe aristata Lace Aloe is not a heavy feeder. It can thrive in nutrient-poor soil, so you don't need to fertilize it frequently. During the growing season, which is typically in spring, you can apply a balanced natural fertilizer once a year.

However, it's important to note that succulents like the Lace Aloe are more prone to damage from overfertilization than underfertilization. Excessive fertilizer can lead to burnt roots and other issues. So, it's best to err on the side of caution and fertilize sparingly. Always observe the plant's response and adjust your fertilization routine accordingly. 

Hardiness Zone & More

If you're growing the Lace Aloe indoors, it prefers temperatures between 50-80°F and can tolerate slightly cooler temperatures at night. Avoid placing them near drafts or heating vents, as sudden temperature changes can stress the plant.

You can place it in a well-ventilated area or use a fan to improve air circulation.   It is strongly advised that plants be shielded from cold, wet soil conditions in areas that experience a lot of winter and spring moisture (especially rain).  

For outdoor cultivation, the Lace Aloe is a cold-hardy plant and can tolerate mild frost in USDA zones 7-12. If you live in a colder climate, you should put them in a pot, and they can then be kept outdoors during the summer and brought in as the temperature drops. 

In terms of humidity, the Lace Aloe is adaptable and can tolerate a wide range of humidity levels, but it generally prefers drier conditions. It's important to provide good airflow around the plant to prevent excessive humidity and reduce the risk of fungal diseases. 

How to Propagate Your Lace Aloe?

You can easily propagate your lace aloe by removing offsets that grow around the base of the plant. These offsets can be gently separated from the main plant and planted in their own pots with well-draining soil to encourage root growth. Additionally, you can also propagate lace aloe through leaf cuttings by allowing the cut ends to callous over before planting them in soil.

Does everything, super portable, robust construction
This is a super useful hub. I also used the Anker 341 7-in-1 hub for years, and it was very reliable for every feature, and the 555 8-in-1 looks to be of the same quality. The ethernet adapter is a great addition, and it works right away at 1G speeds on Linux 6.18 and even Android 16. I upgraded from the 341 to use this to connect to and configure devices from my desktop without having to drop my normal ethernet connection, and it is fantastic for that. It's a real swiss army hub, perfect travel size, and incredibly handy.

Great as long as you know its limitations; runs warm; monitor settings may need to be changed
I reluctantly gave up MagSafe and joined the USB-C future when my employer issued me a new 2019 16" MacBook Pro. Searching for a way to connect my various peripherals I settled on this hub as a reasonable way to connect a 4K display, pass power from the laptop charger (albeit not the full 96W; macOS reports 79W after hub losses—good enough most of the time), connect 1GigE, and provide a few spare USB ports and occasionally-used SD card slots. I've learned a few things: A port that looks like USB-C does not pass video unless it is a "Thunderbolt" port (look for the lightning bolt logo, apparently); connecting a USB-C-to-mini-DisplayPort adapter to the USB-C port on this hub did not allow my monitor to work. Lesson learned. The HDMI port did work, and did pass 4K@60Hz, but only after I adjusted my monitor settings. At first I was convinced either my HDMI cable or this hub were defective, because macOS would only allow me to select 4K@30Hz. I have an LG 4K display, and from reading forums, one must enable 60Hz in the on-screen display menu before the monitor will tell the computer it is capable of displaying 60Hz video. For my monitor, that meant changing "Ratio" in "Quick Settings" to "Original" (it defaulted to "Wide", with a separate configuration for each port), as well as turning on "HDMI ULTRA HD Deep Color" from "Picture" -> "Picture Adjust." After I changed those two settings, 60Hz was not available until I unplugged the HDMI cable from the hub and plugged it in again. After that I had buttery smooth 4K video at 60Hz. The hub works as advertised, at least for my configuration. The 1GigE port works well, and is equivalent to a direct USB-C to Ethernet adapter I tried. It does run warm to the touch as other reviewers have reported. That's not problematic, but I'd prefer it pass the missing 17W to the laptop rather than dissipate it as heat. Time will tell how well the hub holds up, but for now I'm happy. In summary: if you have a new Mac this hub will likely work for you, though you may need to adjust your monitor settings.

Older flash drives might not work.
Port labels are too faint to read easily and the PD out port isn't labelled (I suppose they thought it was obvious since it has a fixed cable). The USB ports are speedy except it won't recognize any of my several SanDisk Cruzer Glides. Others flash drives work okay. Works great as an iPhone USB C to TV HDMI converter.

Perfect, affordable solution for a second home-office setup
I work from home and occasionally like to office out of a different area of the house, but I didn't want to tear down my entire main rig just to move to another room. I picked this up as a secondary docking station for a more casual monitor setup, and it works perfectly for my needs. Setup & Performance: I have this hooked up to my work laptop and two monitors via HDMI. One thing to keep in mind: you’ll need to provide your own USB-C cable and power brick to juice it up. Just make sure you’re using a high-quality charging block to ensure the dock gets consistent power for all your peripherals. The Value: Compared to the price of a name-brand Dell docking station, the value here is incredible. While the more expensive docks might offer a few extra bells and whistles, this is exactly what I needed without the hefty price tag. Pros: Simple Setup: Very straightforward to get running. Dual Monitor Support: Handles two HDMI monitors with no issues. Compact: Great for a secondary or portable "mini" workstation. Bottom Line: If you’re looking for an easy, inexpensive way to run dual monitors from your laptop in another part of the house, this is the way to go. Great performance for the price!

Works well but pay attention **REVISED**
The device has worked well for me. However potential buyers should note that the 2nd USB C port is reserved for power input from a separately purchased power supply. So the device provides only a single USB C port for attaching devices. I use the device on power from my own computer. So undocking my computer requires some careful steps in the correct sequence: (1) eject all external drives; (2) power down the external display; (3) unplug Anker from computer; (4) remove power from the computer. The device comes at a great price, though, so excellent value. *REVISION* After four months of use, the HDMI port seemed to fail--the monitor was indicating that it was not connected. I wrote to Anker support and received a reply within two hours. The reply told me how to reset the docking station. It worked. Kudoes to Anker Support!
