Aloe Brevifolia

Aloe brevifolia, commonly known as the short-leaved aloe or dwarf aloe, is native to the Western Cape province of South Africa. It's well-adapted to the harsh conditions of its natural habitat, often found in rocky terrain.

In terms of growth size, Aloe brevifolia typically forms a low-growing rosette of succulent leaves. The rosette can reach up to about 12 inches (30 cm) in diameter. The leaves are blue-green, triangular, fleshy, and armed with small, sharp teeth along the margins.

Regarding cold tolerance, Aloe brevifolia is relatively hardy and can tolerate mild frost. It is well-suited to arid and semi-arid climates. However, it's essential to protect it from prolonged or severe frost, as it may damage the plant. Providing well-draining soil and avoiding overwatering are also crucial for its overall health.

In cultivation, Aloe brevifolia is often grown in containers or rock gardens, and it's appreciated for its unique appearance and drought tolerance.  Our 5gal plants are averaging 7" wide and 6" tall.  All of our plants are shipped to you bare root.
