Aloes thrive on neglect, making them one of the easiest garden plants for California. They are drought-tolerant, but this one will need a deep watering every couple weeks in dry months. Most aloes will be plump with many bright vibrant blue or green leaves during their growth season. It's natural for these same plants to show stress during their dry season, often turning shades of red, orange or brown, giving added seasonal interest to the succulent garden. During this time the leaves will curl in on themselves, and often shrivel up and shed from the base. If you prefer a lush look, watering once dry will keep them plump. Avoid overhead watering in the crown; when water collects there, it may lead to crown rot. | |

Notas de cultivo
Once the flower stalks are completely bloomed out and dry, they will come out with a light tug, or can be pruned off low in the crown.
Lower dried leaves can be pulled cleanly off the base. Tipping is common on tis aloe when under-watered or in wet conditions without enough drainage.
Interés especial
Hummingbirds love aloes, many of which are pollinated by birds in their native habitat.
This aloe is easily propagated from cuttings. Divide the clump and do your best to get some roots on the pup when it's taken off. Pot up in well drained soil and wait a week to water.
