| Negative | Porphyrostachys | On Aug 30, 2009, Porphyrostachys from Apache Jct., AZ (Zone 9b) wrote: This species doesn't thrive in excessive heat like that experienced in the Phoenix area during the summer. It seems these higher elevation Malagasy Aloes (inexpectata, droseroides, pronkii, conifera, madecassa, capitata var. cipolinicola, cryptoflora, etc.) suffer "heat rot" when the temperatures are consistently at, near or above 110 degrees. They're used to cooler temperatures in their native habitat and tend to fail after a few years unless kept indoors or in a greenhouse with a cooling system in Phoenix. | | Positive | palmbob | On Jan 5, 2007, palmbob from Tarzana, CA (Zone 9b) wrote: Nice looking squat, stemless, wide-leaf aloe from Madagascar. I got a dinky 2 leaf seedling of this 6 months ago, the size of aloes that I often lose to rot when planting in the garden that small... but this plant did great and has grown 5x in size in just 6 months... thought it's still a small seedling. I think this is a sun loving species, and I have mine in partial shade, so I may have to move it. Supposed to develop some nice leaf colors, but mine is totally green now. |
| Regional...This plant has been said to grow in the following regions: Mission Viejo, California Vista, California
