Aloe Jucunda

What is the plant

Aloe jucunda (Reynolds): Loose rosette of green to copper leaves speckled with white dots and lines. This species is from Somalia and thrives with bright sun and gritty soil. The leaf edges are lined with fierce-looking (but gentle-feeling) teeth. This slow-growing, dwarf Aloe stays under 4.0" wide but can reach about 14.0" tall at maturity.Soft succulents will not survive a hard frost, but if there is a risk of freezing temperatures they can be brought indoors to grow on a sunny window sill or under a grow light. They need bright sunlight, great drainage, and infrequent water to prevent rot. Pick containers with drainage holes and use well-draining cactus and succulent soil with 50% to 70% mineral grit such as coarse sand, pumice, or perlite. Water deeply enough for water to run out the drainage hole, then wait for the soil to fully dry before watering again.
