Aloe chabaudii (aloe from South Africa) |
Aloe chabaudii X Aloe marlothii aloe hybrid click here |
| Aloe chabaudii has broad pale blue leaves with small teeth. It grows easy in a garden and contrast very nice with other green foilage. This aloe produce offsets freely and it looks best when growing in a group. |
| Aloe chabaudii plants needs sun to bring out the beautiful color of the rosette in shades of blue, green and pink/red - it turns pale in the shade, but give some shade in a hot climate. |
| Aloe chabaudii is a very good garden plant doing well in the Gauteng area where light frost do occur. The reason these plants are not harmed by the frost may be that the Aloe chabaudii plants are between buildings or other plants for protection. |
| We have winter rainfall where I live down south near Cape Town, but no frost and the succulent aloe A. chabaudii adjusted to the wet winters with the hot dry summer without problem. |
| The thin leaves seems to be from an aloe that does not store much water, but Aloe chabaudii went for months without water during our dry summer without any harm done. |
| Aloes are succulent plants, also known as fatplants. Given the right conditions they can be grown as a houseplant or as a potplant in the garden or greenhouse. |
