Which Small Aloes are Perfect for Pots?
Dwarf or "star" aloes are becoming hugely popular. Succulent collectors like them because they stay small and are perfect for pots. No two cultivars are alike, yet all share similarities.
These diminutive aloes have intriguing textures, patterns and colors. Many have teeth that contrast with the green or blue of the leaves. No worries, these are not sharp or spiny succulents!
In this video you'll see two dozen unique and intriguing dwarf aloes. You'll also watch me create a colorful pot-full with desirable varieties from the leading source: Oasis Water Efficient Gardens nursery near San Diego (owned by Altman Plants).
And on the corresponding page of my site, you'll find a gallery of dwarf aloe cultivars with IDs, along with must-know's for sun exposure, temperature, propagation, flowering, pests, and---importantly---how to keep colors vivid. There you'll also find a list of best online sources.
