It’s Aloe week here at the jungle and I’m so excited I could putsch, so to speak. And we start off with an unknown species. Yay!

We don’t know what species this aloe is. It looks kind of like A. “Crosby’s Prolific” but it’s not. As aloes change a lot as they grow, it can be very hard to ID them when they’re small. For one thing, we don’t know how big this will get, or if it will form a trunk.
What we do know is that it has offsets when small, so it is probably stemless. And it is a winter grower.
We’ll know more as they grow, and especially when they bloom.

Those shape-shifting aloes… you never know what they’re going to do next. It is a cutie, though.
