Aloe × delaetii

Aloe × delaetii is a hardy succulent hybrid, admired for its long, fleshy leaves that exhibit a unique blue-green hue, often edged with soft teeth. The leaves arise from a central rosette, typical of aloe plants, creating an attractive radial symmetry. In response to strong sunlight, the edges may blush with a rose tint, a beautiful adaptation to its arid homeland, thus balancing sun exposure and moisture retention.
