Description:
Aloe petricola, also known as Stone Aloe, is a medium-sized, virtually stemless succulent native to Mpumalanga, South Africa. It features striking blue-green leaves and produces tube-shaped flowers with dark brown anthers and two-tone colors in mid-summer. This plant is drought-resistant and thrives in well-drained soil with a pH ranging from acidic to slightly basic. It grows to a height of 18 to 24 inches and is winter-dormant, making it suitable for rocky locations. Aloe petricola is pollinated by sunbirds and has traditional medicinal uses. It requires full to partial sun exposure and can be propagated through offsets, cuttings, leaves, or seeds. The plant is hardy in zones 9a to 11b and can tolerate temperatures as low as 33°F.
