Aloe x 'Cherry Vanilla' Original Hybrid Cactus then allowed to go dormantAloe x 'Cherry Vanilla' An attractive hybrid Aloe resulted from an open cross of my hybrid Aloes. In good light the color is creamy white with bright pinkish red highlights. Color is generally best in higher light and or water stressing them some. Colors come out better in cooler weather as well. If your plant turns green don't worry, improving conditions will make it color up again. Most hybrids of this type clump readily. Plant should stay small.
