It will grow in the cooler parts of the year, and flower in winter if it gets good light (direct sunlight is essential to bloom well). It is probably dormant in summer, so it is usually recommended not to water much in summer. Don't be surprised if it doesn't grow at that time, but although Aloinopsis are better treated as winter growers they will grow anyway in summer, if given water.
