Also known as in its native South Africa “Poor Man’s Aloe”, stems can be used in exactly the same way and have similar properties texturally, though on a small, slender scale. Low mounds of softly succulent foliage sends forth prolifically flowering stems all through summer of dark/burnt orange flower spikes. Such an awesome plant!
Prefers open well drained soils, perfect in a pot or glasshouse border or conservatory. Full sun. I love this guy!
These guys bulk up pretty quickly, over winter above freezing to be on the safe side, though will cope with one or two accidental exposures in the low minus.
