Description

Golden Tooth aloe (Aloe nobilis) forms sturdy rosettes of yellow-green leaves edged with small, pale teeth. As it matures, offsets can form a broad, attractive clump. It is a handsome choice for succulent bowls, patio containers, and bright indoor spaces.

How to Grow Golden Tooth Aloe

Use a gritty, fast-draining cactus or succulent mix and a pot with drainage holes. Provide plenty of bright light, introducing plants gradually to direct sun to avoid leaf scorch. Water thoroughly when the mix has dried, then let excess water drain away. Reduce watering in cooler months rather than following a fixed weekly schedule.

Size: Rosettes may reach about 12 inches tall; established clumps can spread several feet as offsets develop. Alabama tip: Protect container plants from hard freezes and prolonged winter rain. Outdoor year-round growing is best reserved for suitably mild, well-drained sites.
