Aloe myriacantha is a South African indigenous succulent found in the Eastern Cape, KwaZulu-Natal and Mpumalanga Provinces. It belongs to a group collectively referred to as Grass Aloes. It is a small solitary perennial succulent that does not form suckers. It has up to 15 erect, grass-like leaves in a basal rosette, up to 40 cm long. The leaves are linear, fleshy, bright green, purple-brown and densely white-spotted near the base. The leaf margins are covered in numerous, small white teeth. The attractive flowers are pendulous, two-lipped, pale green to dull purple-brown. Aloes are very popular and some of the most rewarding plants to cultivate. Aloes can tolerate long periods of drought, but it is not true that watering should be withheld to obtain optimal growth. Stressed plants are more susceptible to insects and pests. Plants flourish, flower better and are more resistant when given adequate water during the growing season. However, be very cautious not to over-water aloes because they may rot if they stay wet for too long. Adequate drainage is essential.
