AloeThis succulent is very tough once established. It forms huge clumps from its numerous pups. It reaches about one foot in height with pointed leaves growing in a rosette form. Leaves are pale to medium green, tinged red, with dull white spots, giving a tiger stripe appearance. Plants show more red in cold weather if exposed to strong sunlight or little irrigation. Thorny brown teeth edge the leaf blades, which are sometimes dry and twisted at the tips in dry or cold weather.
