What Aloe albida is
Aloe albida is a small, upright succulent from the dry regions of Southern Africa. You will notice its size, as it stays quite compact compared to many of its relatives.
Living with this plant means providing it with plenty of direct light. Because it thrives in desert environments, it prefers that you keep the soil dry and the air around it low in humidity.
