Aloes thrive on neglect, making them one of the easiest garden plants for California. They are drought-tolerant, though this one will need additional water in the dry months every couple weeks. It also responds well to regular water, if the soil or pot is well drained. 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
This aloe suckers profusely, making a large mounds where you only see the tops of the rosettes. Over time these domes tend to collapse or die off in the middle and can be restarted by dividing them up and replanting the individual heads, which grow very easily from cuttings.
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.
As with many variegated plants, this one tends to grow slower than its green counterpart.
Interés especial
An old garden hybrid, probably of A. brevifolia and either A. distants or A mitriformis.
Hummingbirds love aloes, many of which are pollinated by birds in their native habitat.
