Aloiampelos juddii
A slender, multi-stemmed scrambling aloe known only from a few sandstone outcrops near Cape Agulhas in the Western Cape. It grows in coarse, acidic, nutrient-poor sand among quartzite boulders that shelter it from wind and heat, under a mild coastal climate with rain spread across the year and a winter peak. Treat it as a bright-light, mild-temperature succulent that dislikes both heat stress and rich, wet soil.
Where it grows wild
Rocky south-east-facing slopes in fynbos on Table Mountain Sandstone, where plants sprawl over rocks in the lee of quartzite boulders. The boulders give partial shade at hot times of day and wind shelter.
Low coastal hills; the measured site sits at about 140 m. GBIF records rarely carry an elevation.
