description_en: Genus of about 300 species of small to large, rosetted, evergreen perennials. Some are shrub-like or climbing, a few tree-like. They are found at various altitudes in the Cape Verde Islands, tropical and southern Africa, Madagascar, and the Arabian Peninsula. Most have succulent leaves and axillary or terminal racemes or panicles of cylindrical to 3-angled, tubular, or bell-shaped flowers. The leaves of many Aloe species become suffused red in poor soils and dry conditions. The cylindrical or spherical fruits are papery or woody, and contain flat or angular seeds. Where temperatures fall below 10°C (50°F), grow in a cool or temperate greenhouse or as houseplants. In warmer climates, grow in a desert garden or in a border.
