Need help with aloe ID

#1

Post by davidjmurray23 »

I purchased this aloe about 2-3 years ago and I can’t recall what variety it is. I believe it was a ‘cold’ hardy variety as that’s usually all I buy. Thank you!

Is it etoliated from living in a shady spot? To me it looks like Gasteraloe 'Green Gold.'

It does look a lot like it, but I thought it was a 'pure' aloe and the name doesn't sound familiar. I'll consider it that though until I hear something better. Thank you. :U

Finally found my old email receipt on this plant. :P It is actually a "PINK BLUSH ALOE" but has none of the white coloring shown on the website. I'm going to try to
give it some more sun this spring-summer and see if that helps bring out the white markings and red leaf borders.

This is Pink Blush. It forms rosettes, not long stems
