distribution_en:
description_en: Genus of about 60 species of usually stemless, xerophytic, rhizomatous, evergreen perennials from dry, rocky habitats in tropical and subtropical Africa, Madagascar, India, and Indonesia. They are grown for their stiff, fleshy, linear to broadly ovate, upright or more or less spreading leaves, which may be flat, concave, or cylindrical; these are produced in clumps or squat rosettes from spreading, underground or partially exposed rhizomes. Mature plants infrequently bear low racemes or panicles of fragrant, nectar-rich, tubular, 6-lobed flowers in spring. In frost-prone areas, grow in a warm greenhouse or conservatory, or use as houseplants. In warmer areas, grow in a desert garden, in containers on a patio, or in a small courtyard garden. Tolerant of neglect.
hardiness_en: Frost tender.

propagation_en: Remove suckers, or divide, in spring. Root leaf sections with bottom heat from spring to autumn. Offspring from variegated cultivars will lack variegation if raised from leaf cuttings.
pests_en: Vine weevil grubs may be a problem.
