info		 Aloes thrive on neglect, making them one of the easiest garden plants for California. They are drought-tolerant, though this one needs water every couple weeks in dry months to survive long term. It also looks best with consistent watering to help retain its stacked tiger-tooth leaves for many years. If under-watered the lowest leaves will desiccate and become dry and brittle.

Growing Notes

Once the flower stalks are completely bloomed out and dry, they will come out with a light tug, or can be pruned off low in the crown.
Grows in clumps, making a colony that is at first upright and then wandering. These suckers can easily be removed and propagated by planting them in a fast draining mix and waiting a week to water.
