How to Maintain Your Tiger Aloe - Tips and Tricks
The Tiger Alooe or Aloe variegata is one of the succulents and is very easy to care for. However, a little effort is needed to make it bloom. Since Tigeraloe is poisonous, it should not be within reach of small children.
Plant the aloe variegata properly
Plant your Tigeraloe best in cactus soil. Normal potting soil will loosen up with some sand. Since the aloe variegata tolerates no waterlogging, create a drainage layer on the bottom of the pot. So excess water can run off the same way.
With a height of up to 30 centimeters, it does not need a particularly large flowerpot and does not need to be repotted often. If you want to stimulate your tiger's alga to bloom, then grant her a dry season followed by a simulation of the rainy season.
The correct casting and fertilizing of Tigeraloe
Like all succulents, the tiger alae does not need much water because it is used to dryness. Let the top soil layer dry a little before the next watering, which will not harm the plant. Also make sure that no water accumulates in the leaf axils, this easily leads to decay. It is better to water the tiger algae directly at the roots.
For the aloe variegata is special cactus fertilizer, which you can mix in the irrigation water. So the nutrients are optimally distributed. Fertilize your tiger algae only during the growing season from April to September about every two to weeks.
Is the Tiger Alone suitable for hydroponics?
Although Tigeraloe can also be kept in hydroponic culture, this cultivated form is not ideal for this succulent plant. It tolerates dryness much better than too much moisture. Never give her so much water that the display is set to "ideal", but only so much that just the minimum amount of water is displayed. So your aloe variegata survives a holiday lasting several weeks without any problems.

Tips
If your tiger aloe does not flower, then maybe she is too young for it, she is too dark or she "misses" the dry and rainy periods of her homeland.
