My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

South African Native Plants

Aloes

23 years ago

Hi,

A contributor to this forum pointed out that Aloes are sensitive to fertilizers, like some other African plants. I guess they are sensitive to phosphorous, as are Proteas and related plant.

1. What do you use to fertilize Aloes?

2. Are there other South African plants that are sensitive to certain minerals?

Cordially,
