Aloe humilis is a compact, low-growing aloe native to South Africa. It forms dense rosettes of short, bluish-green leaves covered with soft white spines and raised bumps, giving it a distinctive textured look. Ideal for pots and rock gardens. Thrives in full sun to partial shade with well-drained soil. New ornamental hybrids of Aloe humilis have been developed, featuring even more striking leaf forms.
