For all Aloe lovers and enthusiast succulent collectors, this aloe variety can’t be left out of your list of must have plants.

It is a hardy and attractive small plant that can withstand light frost and wetter conditions than most other aloes.
Exposure: It needs light shade to shade but will take full sun part of the day.
