Ecoscaper (Alan) did a master's thesis on aloe poly at Cal Poly. Here's the link: http://www.ecotree.net/thesis....

He was diplomatic about not mentioning the name of the company on FB, BUT .....maybe he could tell us here??

I think they probably are not Aloe poly seeds. I think cross seedlings would not be representative of the species and not give you the spiral you (and all of us fans!) are seeking. Sad

I also think the time it takes to begin spiraling is relative to the conditions of cultivation. The spiral could collapse without adequate light, I think....but I'm not confident in my knowledge to say this with 100% confidence! Ask me again after I read this master's thesis! Sticking tongue out
