Maybe my favorite succulent, this plant is very easy to grow and multiplies fairly quickly. Use a fast draining mix and let dry between watering. I grow mine indoors in a south and west window.

Very commonly sold and grown miniature aloe in Southern California. Is spotted and has prominent white teeth, which together with small rosette size gives the impression of fuzziness from a distance (is not, though). Leaves turn a brownish bronze in hot summer sun, but plant tolerates it well. Good grower and one of the most common aloes sold at garden outlet stores. Suckers profusely and makes almost a growncover effect. Simple dark orange-red flowers in summer.

An interesting aloe, but does anyone have any pictures of the flowers? I wouldbe interested to know where they will sprout from on this aloe as there is no rosette as normal!!
