Grows well with sun - mostly shade and occasional - low water. Drought tolerant once established. Prefers to be dry in winter. Does well in gritty, lean, rocky and well-drained soil.

    This miniature Aloe forms tight rosettes of short bright green succulent leaves dappled with cream and edged translucent white teeth, that grow in a somewhat columnar way. Red-orange flowers in early spring. EASY!
