Description
Common name: Aloe
Aloe jucunda is a miniature aloe with small flat rosettes and the bright green leaves have small teeth along their edges with the characteristic white spots found in many aloes. Its flowers are pink and open in springtime, but if the correct conditions are present potted plants can be floriferous throughout the year. This species clusters freely to form dense groups and the individual heads can be used to start new plants.
