Are you looking for a show-stopping addition to your indoor and outdoor succulent collection? Look no further than the magnificent Tiger Aloe, scientifically known as Aloe variegata (reclassified as Gonialoe variegata), which is a vibrant and delightful succulent that will surely captivate any plant lover's heart.This enchanting aloe plant boasts short, longitudinally-arranged white spots on both upper and lower surfaces that align in horizontal bands hence earning it the name tiger aloe or moniker Partridge Breasted Aloe. It is sometimes mistakenly referred to as cape aloe, but the real cape aloe is Aloe ferox. 

Belonging to the Asphodelaceae family, it can grow up to 24 inches tall and 12 inches wide. This aloe variegata is a slow-growing plant and can take several years to reach its full size. 

In its natural habitat, South Africa and Namibia, the blooming season for this succulent is from July to September, but indoors, the bloom season may begin in the winter and last through the spring. The Orange, salmon pink flowers that dangle from the stem in multiple directions emit a light and sweet fragrance. 

Tiger aloe (Gonialoe variegata) is mildly toxic to pets. To propagate your Tiger aloe Variegata, remove the offsets that appear around the base of the parent plant with a sharp, clean knife or razor. When you have a healthy Partridge breast Aloe plant, these small rosettes will grow.  

Watering Needs

When watering these South African Aloes, it's important to find the right balance. This tiger aloe, just like the Aloe vera plant, prefers to be slightly underwatered rather than overwatered. It is a drought-tolerant succulent and stores water in its fleshy leaves, so it can withstand periods of dryness. 

To meet the watering needs of the Tiger Aloe, it's best to allow the soil to dry out between waterings. Before watering, make sure the top inch of the soil is completely dry. When you do water your tiger aloe plant, make sure to water thoroughly, allowing the water to soak through the soil and drain out of the bottom of the pot. 

During the growing season, which is typically spring and summer, you can water the Tiger Aloe more frequently. However, during the dormant period in fall and winter, you should reduce the frequency of watering. Remember, it's always better to underwater than overwater this Aloe variegata to prevent root rot. 

If the leaves start to look shriveled or feel soft, it's a sign that your aloe plant needs water. On the other hand, if the leaves become mushy or turn yellow, it could be a sign of overwatering.

Light Requirements

Like many succulents, the tiger aloe thrives in partial shade, though full sun may cause your plant to turn reddish-brown, adding to its vibrant beauty. 

If you are growing tiger aloe indoors, place your tiger aloe near a window that receives bright, filtered sunlight. East-facing or south-facing windows are usually ideal. If you don't have a window that provides enough light, you can also use artificial grow lights to supplement the natural light. 

Keep an eye on this variegated tiger aloe plant and observe how it responds to light conditions. If the leaves start to stretch or become pale, it may be an indication that it is not getting enough light. On the other hand, if the leaves turn brown or develop sunburn spots, they may be receiving too much direct sunlight. 

Remember to rotate the plant occasionally to ensure even exposure to light on all sides. This will help prevent your Aloe variegata from leaning towards the light source and promote balanced growth.

Optimal Soil & Fertilizer Needs

When it comes to the optimal soil and fertilizer needs of the Tiger Aloe, it's important to provide a well-drained potting soil surface specifically formulated for succulents. Tiger aloe grows abundantly on rocky outcrops in its natural habitat. So, they're not picky about soil, except that they need good drainage. Instead, make or buy a well-draining soil, 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. 

Tiger aloe does not require frequent feedings, but if you haven't made it a habit to do so, a mature plant that doesn't bloom might encourage flowering from one in the spring with a balanced natural fertilizer with an equal mix of NPK. However, be cautious not to over-fertilize, as this can lead to weak, leggy growth. 

Remember, it's always better to err on the side of caution and under-fertilize rather than over-fertilize succulents. If you notice any signs of fertilizer burn, such as brown or scorched leaves, reduce the frequency or strength of the fertilizer. 

Hardiness Zone & More 

The Tiger Aloe is well-suited to warm and arid climates and is typically grown indoors in colder zones. It is generally recommended for hardiness zones 9-11. In terms of temperature, the Tiger Aloe prefers a range between 60°F and 80°F if grown outdoors. It can tolerate slightly cold temperatures but may struggle in extreme heat.

Native to dry conditions, this aloe plant tolerates hot temperatures and low humidity levels. It doesn't require high levels of humidity and can thrive in average indoor humidity levels, which are typically around 40-60%. However, it's important to avoid excessively dry air, which can cause the leaves to shrivel. If the air in your home is particularly dry, you can increase humidity by using a humidifier or placing a tray of water near the aloe plant. 

Remember, it's always a good idea to monitor the temperature and humidity levels in your specific location and make adjustments as needed to create the best-growing conditions for your Tiger Aloe plants.

Decent fit, good quality, great value
I'm 6' 4" tall (1.93m), but very thin, so I bought a Small, which is the size I wear for almost all men's short-sleeve shirts (tees, polos, and button-downs). The fit of this shirt is surprisingly roomy, although I'm not complaining given the price point. The shoulders and body could be a just tiny bit more tailored, especially given the easy drape and movement of this pique knit polyester fabric, which hangs where it wants to and glides effortlessly against the skin. I could never, ever feel constrained or constricted in this shirt. I almost wish the fabric were a tiny bit stiffer. The length is slightly generous, but not excessive. The collar lies down properly (no curling at the corners, no unwanted creases), although this is usually the case with synthetic fabric polos. Despite the minor flaws with this shirt, I like the overall appearance, value, and quality, and I plan to buy several more in different colors.

A shockingly good polo shirt!
OK. Amazon Brand. How good can it be? Well, shame on me. I bought one as "cheap" knock around polo shirts for the beach However, what I received was actually a very nice quality polo shirt with a great fit. (Large, "Trim fit" fits me well....average build, 5'9", 155 lbs, 32 waist). While I can appreciate nice clothes, I am only as fashion conscious as the average 58 year old male. With that caveat, I would unquestionably wear this golfing, at summer party or at a causal restaurant . The material has a nice feel, dries quickly and looks like it will resist snagging, though that it a risk with any polyester shirt. I cannot yet speak about long term durability, but I will no doubt recover my $15 investment. I have since ordered 5 shirts more because I lost weight and needed new shirts. Is this shirt as nice at the $90 ones my wife buys me at a "high end", unnamed "preppy" shop? No, not quite. But awfully close!

Buy this shirt!
You need to buy this shirt! I bought one for a golf outing and like it so much I went back and bought all the colors that were available. At $15, these are a superb value and look great. Fit: this is an athletic / slim fit shirt. I am 5’9” and 160 lbs and a Medium fits me perfectly. Fits much better than Banana Republic polos. The collar sits nicely, the button placement is correct (not too high not too low). The cuffs do not have a band so they don’t ride up. Fabric: 100% polyester so you can wash it and stick it right in the dryer and it comes out with no wrinkles. NOTE: I had trouble ironing this shirt. Best bet is toss it in the dryer for a few minutes to get wrinkles out. The colors I have are vibrant and there is a slight texture but not as much as a pique.

Nice shirt but too short
I'm 6', 175 with a bit of a longer torso. That makes me a slim build bordering on tall/slim. The material seems on par with similar offerings from Nike and the shirt looks and fits quite well (I like the slim tailor) but it was not long enough to tuck in as a medium (right at my belt line). I tried a large which is getting a little big around and it was still too short. XL was ridiculously wide on me and still not long enough. Bottom line is that Amazon needs to offer this shirt in a slim/TALL with about 3" of additional length. There would be a whole lot of buyers. I'll have to continue to go to the specialty shops in search of MT and LT sizes.

Nice for the price
I am 6’4” and 195 lbs so I need a large size for most shirts. I need it for the length, but not the width, so shirts this size tend to bow out at the back and make me feel a bit like I am wearing a tent. I prefer polos made of a very thin, breathable and moisture wicking fabric. A decent looking shirt you can wear on hot and humid days without any undershirt and stay comfortable. Old Navy makes a fantastic version, very similar to the ridiculously priced Under Armor version, and I was hopeful that this Amazon version would compare. It does, but has a few drawbacks. If this sounds like you, keep reading. If not, thanks for getting this far. I’ll keep this brief with a list of pros and cons below. Suffice it to say, I like the polo enough not to return it, but it is still a step below some of the shirts produced by other outlets. Cons: 1. It is far from wrinkle free, though I’m not sure it is even touted to be. It does tell me, though, that this fabric won’t be as soft as I prefer. 2. The color is a little darker (I got the coral) than it seemed in the picture, but not terribly so. 3. The “slim fit” is what drew me in and while it better than most, the back still bows out a bit 4. The fabric is clearly moisture wicking, but not the light fluffy kind. I know I’m starting to sound like a snob, but if you know what I mean, you know what I mean. Sometimes a shirt feels heavy when you sweat in it. The idea of the moisture wicking fabric is to pull that sweat away as fast as you produce it to aid in the evaporative cooling taking place on your body. This shirt doesn’t feel heavy, but I’m not sure how long it will stay that way on a really hot and humid day. Pros: 1. Price. For $15, I can become blissfully ignorant to the cons listed above. 2. Fit. It isn’t perfect (Yes, I know this is listed as a con too), but if you have a tall, lanky body type like me, a large will fit you better than your average polo. After a trip or two through the dryer, probably even more so. 3. Convenience. Now that I know this is a good fit for me, I can try all the different colors I want from the comfort of wherever I choose to be with my phone.
