Succulent
Description
Aloe microstigma, also known as the Speckled Aloe, is a striking succulent native to South Africa. It is recognized for its distinctive, dark green leaves that are covered in white or pale spots, giving it a unique speckled appearance. The leaves are arranged in a rosette, with the plant typically growing upright. In the winter, this aloe produces a tall flower stalk with bright orange or red tubular flowers, which attract pollinators.
