Growing Aloe mutabilis
Because of it's upright, vase like form and almost iridescent teeth, Aloe mutabilis has become one of my garden favorites! Rain, drought, hot days, cold nights... Aloe mutabilis doesn't complain.
It's been in the ground now for less than a year, has nearly doubled in size and is producing several offsets. I originally purchased this plant in July of 2017 as a 4" pot from Annies. I grew it for a year in a 2 gallon pot where it seemed happy enough - but like many plants this A. mutabilis exploded in growth once in the ground.
A. mutabilis resembles A. arborescens somewhat but so far seems to have a more upright form, and broader, thicker leaves. I hope it's overall shape remains the same. The leaf margin 'teeth' regularly appear as if they are glowing which is one of this plants most interesting traits in my opinion. It looks as if the leaf color has also changed over the last year to a blue-green.
