Botanical Name: Aloe ‘Christmas Sleigh’
Common Names: Christmas Sleigh Aloe, Hybrid Aloe
Aloe ‘Christmas Sleigh’ is a colorful hybrid aloe prized for its compact rosette and festive foliage. The thick, triangular leaves are blue-green to deep green with contrasting white markings and pronounced marginal teeth, often developing red or copper tones along the edges when grown in bright light. Its tidy size and vibrant coloration make it a standout choice for containers, windowsills, and succulent collections. Derived from aloe species native to southern and eastern Africa, this hybrid is drought-tolerant and easy to grow. Mature plants typically reach 6–10 inches (15–25 cm) tall and wide, depending on growing conditions. SOLD AS A BARE ROOT SPECIMEN, 3+ INCHES TALL.
Plant Care:
• Bright light to partial sun; brighter light enhances color
• Well-draining cactus or succulent soil
• Water only after soil has dried completely
• Low-maintenance and drought tolerant
Frost Tolerance:
• Soft succulent and not frost-hardy
• Suitable for USDA zones 9–11
• Minimum temperature approximately 32°F (0°C)
• Protect from freezing and excess moisture
Winter Dormancy:
• Growth slows significantly during winter
• Reduce watering substantially or stop entirely
• Keep soil dry during dormancy
• Resume watering in spring when active growth returns
