Description:

The stalks may reach 4 metres in height with a diameter of about 5cm.with many stems at the base.
The up to half- a -metre long and 5cm.wide leaves are green and curved towards the base. The serrated edges of these leaves are about 5mm.long. The red flowers grow in simple bunches. The leaves of this variety of Aloe, as in all the other types, contain medicinal substances, well-known in Ancient times. These substances contain a discreet healing power and regenerate animal tissue and were originally used for skin burns.
Many studies have been carried out on the active principles of these substances and a hypothesis has been put forward, without the certainty, that they may also have an anti-tumour effect.

Cultivation: This plant has been on the market for many years and is abundant in many coastal gardens throughout the Mediterranean, where it grows abundantly in conditions where the winter temperatures do not drop below zero.
It adapts well to cultivation in pots, so much so as to define it as one of the few indoor "cacti", in conditions where it is placed in a well-lit area.
Loose soil and good watering in the hot months are the only things that this rustic plant requires.

Reproduction: Use scion from branches, place in humid sand in the hotter months of the year.
