Description
Light/Soil/Water

Aloe Brevifolia is an evergreen succulent with rosettes of gray leaves that build up on each other to form a clump up to 1 foot (30 cm) tall. Each rosette gets to just over 3 inches (7.5 cm) wide, bearing broadly triangular fleshy gray leaves with white spines along the edges and a few along the keel of the lower surface. The leaves can turn rosy pink or golden yellow in full sun. In the late spring appear spikes of orange tubular flowers in unbranched spikes that rise up to 24 inches (60 cm). Aloe is a very forgiving plant, and a well-grown plant can be quite beautiful. All of the plants will be shipped bare root

Full Sun, Filtered Sun, Part Shade. Prefers warm weather from 70ºF (21ºC) to 80ºF (27ºC), but can survive temperature as low as 40ºF (4.5ºC). Porous and well-drained succulents mix. Feed with a cactus fertilizer in the summer only (Aloes go dormant in the winter). Avoid letting water sit for too long in the soil. Do not overwater.
