Description
Aloe juvenna is a succulent with bright green, triangular leaves densely packed all along the stems. The leaves have spikey margins and light green-to-white spots on the inner and outer surfaces. The stems start erect and arch over as the plant matures. The offsets form at the base, creating a clump, making it ideal for ground cover. When exposed to direct sunlight, the leaves will develop a red-brown hue.
