Are you a fan of succulents? If so, have you met one of the stunning aloes the Aloe striata hybrid (aloe striata × maculata),  known as the "Aloe Ghost," which grows in rosettes of blue-grey leaves that are up to 1 foot and a half across and never grow higher than 8 inches.  

When exposed to cold winter temperatures, the frosty, light-colored leaves acquire an intriguing amethyst purple tint. You'll be astonished by the bright orange, shaggy-like flowers that bloom in the winter and early spring and are suspended 2 feet above the succulent plant on tall candelabra stems. 

The care is the same as for Aloes plants – they're hardy in USDA zones 9-11 and thrive in full sunlight (bright light) but should not be exposed to too much heat to prevent scorching on the leaves.  

Make sure you check the soil before watering, as these plants do not like to be waterlogged or soggy and try not to move the plant too much to avoid breaking off leaves. In order to grow a succulent successfully, soil must be fast draining. Poor drainage soil, even if watered properly, could damage the roots. 

With proper care, your Aloe plant will thrive and bring some extra personality to your space!
