Aloe hybrids are cultivated varieties resulting from the deliberate crossbreeding of different Aloe species, commonly for ornamental or horticultural value. These hybrids often arise from species within the Aloe section Lomatophyllum, and Aloe section Aloe, with interspecific breeding yielding unique foliage markings, colouration, growth forms, and flower traits. Many hybrids are created using Aloe aristata, Aloe jucunda, Aloe descoingsii, and Aloe somaliensis due to their compact size and ornamental qualities. Hybrids are most often grown in cultivation and are not typically found in the wild.
Care Tips:
Light: Prefers bright, indirect light to full sun depending on the hybrid; excessive shade reduces leaf colour intensity
Water: Water thoroughly when dry; avoid water sitting in the leaf rosette
Humidity: Tolerant of dry indoor air; good ventilation helps prevent fungal issues
Media: Free-draining mineral-rich mix with added pumice or coarse sand
Temperature: Thrives in 18–28°C; avoid frost and prolonged temperatures below 10°C
Fertiliser: Use diluted succulent fertiliser in active growth during warmer months
Repotting: Repot only when root-bound; some hybrids offset freely and may require division
