Mesa Aloe Polyphylla Rotation Plant Aloe Vera "100 Seeds" - Rare and Exotic Plants & Seeds One of nature's amazing works of art! Aloe polyphylla is a rare beauty with a spellbinding spiral statement! This unique succulent grows to 3 feet across, with dozens of overlapping leaves that spiral either clockwise or counter-clockwise. Aloe polyphylla comes from very high elevations, where the climate is cool, and nights are cooler. It does best in mild temperatures, with growth slowing or stopping when temps get above 85-90. Unfortunately it is an endangered species that is threatened with extinction in its homeland of southern Africa. This is a must-have for collectors of stunning plants! A fascinating specimen in a container, on dry slopes or in cactus and succulent gardens. Aloe polyphylla is a stemless aloe and grows its leaves in a very distinct spiral shape. Since the plant comes from high-rainfall areas, it appreciates consistent moisture during the summer months. It does best in very well-aerated soil that is free of lime.
