There are over 500 different species of Aloe found across Africa. Aloe Black Gem is a hybrid between Aloe and Haworthia that can have impressive reddish-bronze foliage when given brighter light. These succulents make great houseplants as they are quite forgiving and easy to care for.

Aloe can endure many different light conditions and can survive very long periods without water. Make sure to allow the soil to dry completely, and give your aloe a heavy watering when the bottom leaves start to feel less plump.

Although many aloe plants can be very large in their natural habitat, they stay much smaller in indoor conditions.
