Aloe globuligemma from South Africa |
| The round flowers of this aloe, arranged from large to small, resemble beads on a necklace. |
| Aloe globuligemma plants bloom in mid winter. |
| It is not difficult to grow Aloe globuligemma, but for one point - this succulent aloe plant is sensitive to frost. |
| The recurving blue-green leaves with small pale colored thorns, give this plant a gracefull appearance that contrast well amongst other green plants. |
| I read that this is actually the only aloe which is poisonous when taken internally. I do not know the truth, but it is wise to make sure before taking any home-made medications internally. Whether or not it is derived from plants.. |
| 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. |

Aphids/ants:- You may wash the plants with a dish washing liquid that contains lemon, but in the case of damage, where there are already a lot of aphids, it will be necessary to use a poison in powder form. The danger of rot is high, keep the plant dry.
