    Greetings everyone,
    I'm new to this forum and to the cacti/succulent world.

    Can you please help me to ID this succulent that I've just bought yesterday. Does it look like in aloe family? Aloe Aristata perhaps?
    Any culture tips would be much appreiciated - sun/shade? When to water?
    I'm quite nervous about watering as I read, for example, my Haworthia Zebra doesn't like watering in the hot summer days, and doesn't like sun. What about this one??

    Also would like to know when to repot it to some better medium. Is it a good time? Shall I wait till the fall? The medium is bone dry at the moment but as far as I can tell, it's a mix of peat and coir and most likely will hold too much water.

    Thanks so much in advance! IMG_3176.JPG

    Welcome Greenbud :)
    I'm afraid I don't know what this is, but I'm pretty sure there'll be someone who does :)
