Aloe Spider — Ø10.5 cm — H15 cm
🌵 Striking graphic rosette • ☀️ Direct sunlight • 💧 Very low watering • 🌟 Ultra easy care • 🐾 Non-toxic
The Aloe Spider is a graphic and compact succulent, known for its rosette of thin, elongated leaves that resemble spider legs. This spectacular variety features fleshy green leaves with serrated edges that create an architectural and modern visual effect in your urban jungle.
Native to South Africa, the Aloe Spider belongs to the large aloe family, succulent plants adapted to arid climates. Its fleshy leaves store water, making it extremely drought-tolerant and perfect for beginners or those who forget to water. With its current height of 15 cm and pot diameter of 10.5 cm, it becomes a small graphic succulent ideal for your urban jungle, perfect for small spaces, sunny windowsills, or succulent arrangements seeking an ultra-easy and sculptural plant.
Exposure & Location
The Aloe Spider loves direct sun and bright light. The more light it receives, the more compact its rosette and the more intense its colors.
- Exposure: direct sun to bright light (several hours per day).
- Ideal: sunny south-facing windowsill, bright conservatory, balcony, or terrace in warm seasons.
- Temperature: 15 to 30 °C, tolerates heat but is sensitive to frost.
- Substrate: very well-draining, cactus and succulent mix (cactus soil + perlite + sand).
Verdeia tip: the more sun it gets, the denser and more graphic its rosette will be, sometimes with reddish hues on the edges.
Watering & Care
- Watering: very low; allow the substrate to dry completely between waterings.
- Frequency: about once every 3-4 weeks in spring-summer, once a month or less in winter.
- Drainage: absolutely essential — use a pot with drainage holes and very well-draining substrate.
- Humidity: perfectly tolerates dry air, no misting needed.
- Fertilizer: once a month in spring-summer with diluted liquid fertilizer for succulents.
- Winter rest: drastically reduce watering in autumn-winter.
Better to forget watering than to overwater — excess water causes rapid rot.
Decor Ideas & Plant Combinations
With its striking graphic rosette and small size, the Aloe Spider makes a perfect sculptural touch for sunny arrangements. It deserves a bright spot where its architectural silhouette can be admired.
- Pair with: other succulents (Echeveria, Haworthia, Crassula), small cacti, or Sedum to create a varied dry garden.
- Ideal pot: decorative pot in terracotta, matte ceramic, or modern pot to highlight the green rosette.
- Ambiance: perfect on a sunny windowsill, bright shelf, balcony, or mixed succulent arrangement.
Group several succulents of different shapes to create an ultra-graphic, easy-care mini dry garden.
Verdeia Tips
- Maintain consistent bright light — in shade, the rosette will stretch and lose its compact shape.
- Absolutely avoid overwatering — it’s the main cause of rot.
- In winter, drastically reduce watering to respect its dormancy.
- Repot every 2-3 years in spring with fresh, very well-draining substrate.
- Gently remove dry leaves at the base to keep the rosette clean.
- Handle with care — the serrated edges can prick slightly.
- Completely safe for pets — perfect if you have curious cats or dogs!

Our Verdeia commitments
FAQ – Everything to know before adopting your Verdeia plant
How are my plants prepared before shipping?
All our plants are selected from our European partner nurseries. Before shipping, they are watered, cleaned, and protected with breathable, secure packaging. Each package is designed to ensure your plant arrives in perfect health, without any transport-related stress.
Will the plant look exactly like the photo?
The photos accurately represent the variety and the stated size. Since each plant is unique, slight differences in shape, foliage, or color may occur — and that’s part of their charm.
What are the delivery times and conditions?
Shipping is done within 48 business hours, with tracked delivery within 2 to 5 business days. Delivery costs €5.60 — free for orders over €50. You will receive a tracking link as soon as the package is shipped.
What to do upon receiving my plant?
Open your package as soon as you receive it and carefully remove the plant from its packaging. Let it acclimate for 24 hours in its new environment before watering. If it has been slightly stressed during transport, it will recover its shape after one or two days in the light.
What to do if my plant arrives damaged?
Contact us within 48 hours with a photo of the issue. Our team will assess the situation and offer you the best solution: replacement, partial refund, or recovery advice.
Can I return a plant?
Since plants are living beings, standard returns are not possible. However, we guarantee good health upon delivery: if the plant arrives damaged, it will be replaced free of charge. For any other cases (order error, decorative pot, accessory), returns are possible within 14 days.
