A Madagascan aloe allied to A. imalotensis. Fleshy, short, medium growing species with delicate pinstriping down each leaf. Lime green and looks best in part shade. Clumping species. Bright red flowers.

Sowing instructions: Seeds germinate very well but may damp off if overwatered. Use a mixture of river sand, compost and soil to sow seeds in. Sprinkle the seeds evenly on the surface and cover with a layer of small pebbles. The pebbles help the seedlings to stay upright and prevent damping off. Keep seed tray in a dry warm corner and do not allow to dry out. Transplant the seedlings after one year.
