There are rosettes that seem to contain a small African sun among their leaves.Aloe is one of the major genera of succulents: Kew currently recognizes 594 species, spread across tropical and southern Africa, Madagascar, the Arabian Peninsula, and even northwestern India. They live from deserts and dry scrublands to rocky mountains. Many tolerate moderate cold, approximately USDA 8–11, depending on the species, but appreciate abundant sun, aeration, and balanced substrates. They are plants with seasonal rhythms, with many species having a summer rest period.
