Aloe brevifolia
Short Leaf Aloe
Description
Aloe brevifolia, commonly known as the short-leaved aloe, is a succulent plant native to South Africa. It is a small, stemless aloe that forms dense clumps. The leaves are short, thick, and triangular, often with reddish margins. Its flowers appear on short stalks and are typically orange or red, attracting pollinators. Aloe brevifolia thrives in well-drained soil and full sun. It tolerates drought conditions and requires infrequent watering. Avoid overwatering, especially in poorly drained soil, to prevent root rot. It can be easily propagated by removing offsets from the base of the plant.
