Aloe and overall plant enthusiast from Riverside CA

#1

Post by AloeTroyBoi »

Hey all, been a lurker and enjoyer of this site for some time now. Figured I'd officially join the club. I've been a collector of all things succulent for 8 years now. Indoor plants lead to me to a love of succulent plants which lead me to love of most things that photosynthesize. Aloe is easily my favorite genus of plant, of which I'm currently growing over 150 natural species as well as dozens of other hybrids. Really I grow damn near anything that tickles: cactaceae, agavaceae(less so because of weevils :( ) euphorbiaceae, crassulaceae, asclepiadaceae and on and on the list goes. OH! I also have a thing for Australian natives. I'm from Riverside, CA and my name is Troy.

Hi Troy. I’m also from riverside (a few blocks over from UCR) and have an eclectic blend of plants. Palms, agave, aloe, tropical fruit trees too.
