Aloe Donnie

Aloe Donnie (Aloe ‘Donnie’) is a compact hybrid aloe that forms a small rosette of thick, pointed leaves with soft-toothed edges. Labijo ships it to US buyers as a plant similar to the one in the photos.

What does Aloe Donnie look like?

Aloe ‘Donnie’ is a named hybrid, bred for small size rather than for gel like Aloe vera. It makes a tight rosette of thick, tapering leaves with small soft teeth along the edges. Like many small hybrid aloes, the leaves carry pale speckles or raised bumps, and they can blush red or bronze in strong sun.

Over time it sends up offsets around the base and fills the pot. It stays small enough for a windowsill. You will find more of our other succulents in the shop.

How do you care for Aloe Donnie?

• Light: Bright light with some direct sun. A south or west window works well indoors.
• Water: Only when the soil is completely dry, then water deeply. Cut back further in winter.
• Humidity: Average room air.
• Soil: A gritty cactus mix with plenty of pumice or perlite, in a pot that drains.
• Temperature: 60–85°F. Keep it above 50°F and protect it from frost.
• Pets: Not pet safe. Aloe is toxic to cats and dogs if they chew the leaves.

When pups have a few leaves of their own, you can separate them from the mother plant and pot them up. Let the cut end dry for a day first.
