Aloe alfredii

A Rauh aloe from Mt Ibity near Antsirabe in the Malagasy highlands, a quartzite massif known for its rock-dwelling succulents. It has a warm, wet summer and a cool, dry winter with cold nights. Give it full sun, a gritty mix and a dry, cool winter rest.

Where it grows wild

One label reads 'Central Madagascar, Mt Ibity, region of Antsirabé, 1400 m'. Ibity's succulents grow on quartzite outcrops and rocky grassland, and that is assumed here.

The label gives 1,400 m. The climate was adjusted to 2,043 m, so it may run cooler than the recorded site.
