Aloe zebrina (South Africa) |
|
| Aloe zebrina is a very easy going small maculated aloe. |
| Both surfaces of the leaves has irregular white spots in rows |
| In natural conditions the tips of the leaves dry out in summer forming an attractive curl. |
| The pale red/pink flowers are striped and relatively small. |
| Plants are stemless and form small groups from offsets at the base. |
| Zebrina needs no special attention in a warm dry climate. |
| It is very hardy when grown in full sun with the minimum water. When dry it can stand frost. |
