About Aloe White Lightning
Coming from Southern Africa, Madagascar and Arabia, Aloe White Lightning is a succulent of the Asphodelaceae family appreciated by collectors and enthusiasts. 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.
At Succulentae we grow every Aloe White Lightning directly in our nursery in southeastern Spain, in conditions of intense sun, low humidity and mineral substrate that replicate its natural habitat. The result: more compact, better colored and more resilient plants than those grown in artificial greenhouses.
