Aloe Mitriformis
Description - A dwarf version of Aloe vera this aloe has strong sturdy
leaves arranged in rosettes with fine yellow-white serrations.
Origin
- South Africa
Family - Liliaceae
Care Tips - Like
all succulents it stores moisture in its foliage, stem or roots in the growing
season so as to be able to survive periods of drought. Take care not to overwater
or to let water settle in the rosette as this will cause stem rot, black marks
on the leaves indicate this. This plant likes full sunshine and should be allowed
to overwinter in cool, dry surroundings.
