I especially love the Aloe dorothea. The deep red they can get on those smooth succulent leaves always reminded of those old vinyl seats in diners, lol.
I finally got one of the plants from a local nursery. Some nearby it had mites, so they doused it for me but I've been taking my time getting it into the ground for fear of infecting any other plants. Does anyone know the optimal time to plant aloes, or does it matter?
