Spiral Aloe<\/p><\/div>\n

Scientific name:\u00a0<\/strong>Aloe polyphylla<\/em><\/p>\n

Common Name:<\/strong> Kroonaalwyn(Afrikaans), Spiral Aloe,\u00a0ekhala kharatsa(seSotho).<\/p>\n

Description:<\/strong>\u00a0Aloe polyphylla<\/em> is a unique\u00a0beauty with a spellbinding spiral statement.\u00a0This rare\u00a0succulent grows to 3 feet across,\u00a0with dozens of overlapping leaves that spiral either clockwise or counter-clockwise.\u00a0The plants do not seem to sucker or produce off-shoots, but from the germination of their seeds they can form small, dense clumps. The fat, wide, serrated, gray-green leaves have sharp, dark leaf-tips.\u00a0The margins are irregularly toothed. Plants have approximately 150 leaves each, which explains the name “polyphylla”. “Poly” means “many” and “phylla” is Greek for “leaves”.\u00a0Plants usually flowers in spring and early summer.\u00a0The plants tolerate snow and temperatures between 10 and 90 degrees F.<\/p>\n
