About Aloe variegata
Aloe variegata, of the Asphodelaceae family, originates in Southern Africa, Madagascar and Arabia and has spread to home cultivation thanks to its beauty and resilience. It is characterized by fleshy leaves with marginal spines and inner gel, an evolutionary adaptation that makes it a unique piece in the world of succulents.
Your Aloe variegata has been grown at Succulentae, a specialized nursery in Almería, under real Mediterranean arid conditions — more resilient and better adapted than artificial greenhouse plants. This produces stronger specimens, with intense coloration and compact form, ready to join your collection.
