This plant grows well in full sun in Southern California. It is easily rooted in potting soil with warmth.

small but not markedly ornamental brown, thin-leaved aloe. Flowers nice, but here in California bloom repeatedly. Flowers simple and are half yellow, half orange. Not seen a red flower anywhere.

Sorry to say, but the genus Aloe belongs to the family Liliaceae!

Editor's Note: At the present time, the Aloe genus is more commonly classified in the Aloaceae family than the older Liliaceae family. The Plants Database editors have decided to place all Aloe entries in this newer family.
