Aloes thrive on neglect, making them one of the easiest garden plants for California. They are drought-tolerant, and this one will not need additional water once established in your garden. 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. | |

Notas de cultivo
Suckers, but slowly. Rosette stays at ground level.
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.
Interés especial
Hummingbirds love aloes, many of which are pollinated by birds in their native habitat.
This aloe is easily propagated by removing suckers, planting them in a quick draining mix and waiting a week to water.
