Aloe ‘Snowstorm’

An absolute stunner, Aloe Snowstorm is characterized by thick, rigid leaves with a star-shaped growth pattern, each densely coated with white banding across a deep green background giving the appearance of snow flurries dotting a verdant landscape. Freely offsetting, and readily flowering even indoors, this compact variety makes a highly unique addition to any succulent collection. Each rosette will reach a maximum size of only 6 inches tall and wide, so be sure to position Snowstorm towards the front of a potted arrangement, for maximum impact.

Like most Aloe, this variety prefers bright light, and the green components of the leaves will even stress to a rich chocolate hue in direct sunlight. Ample airflow, porous soil, and a well-draining pot are all must-haves to protect Aloe Snowstorm against root rot and other ills and in the winter months, it is also necessary to shield the chubby leaves from frost to avoid scarring. Bearing in mind that Aloe store large quantities of water in their leaves, water thoroughly only once the soil has had a chance to completely dry from the last drink.

Flowers are a bright orange color, and are especially attractive to hummingbirds and other pollinators!
