Aloe 'Minnie Belle'

$7.00

A Spunky Succulent with Spots and Spikes!

Meet the Aloe 'Mini Belle' (sometimes spelled 'Minnie Belle'), a delightful dwarf hybrid that brings a bold, architectural presence to small spaces. This easy-care aloe forms compact, clumping rosettes, making it a wonderful addition to sunny windowsills, terrariums, and mixed succulent arrangements.

This plant is full of character, named not for its size, but for the wife of its hybridizer!

Why You'll Love the 'Mini Belle'

  • Distinctive Foliage: Its chunky, lance-shaped leaves are a rich deep green and covered in attractive white speckles or dots. The margins of the leaves are lined with soft, white "teeth" that give it a fun, spiky texture.

  • Color Changer: Under stress from ample sun or cooler temperatures, the leaf tips and edges will often blush a gorgeous coppery or reddish-orange tone.

  • Hummingbird Magnet: In late spring to summer, a tall spike emerges from the center of the rosette, topped with a cluster of bright bell-shaped red or vermilion flowers—a treat for you and any visiting hummingbirds!

  • Compact Size: Reaching a mature size of about 6–12 inches tall and wide, it's perfect as a standalone accent plant or as a "filler" in a container garden.

All potted plants are local pickup only. Shipped plants will be bare root (no pot or soil).

Aloe ‘Minnie Belle’

Care and Placement

The 'Mini Belle' is an excellent, fuss-free choice for beginners.

  • Light: Prefers bright, filtered light to full sun. A south or west-facing window is ideal.

  • Water: Water thoroughly only when the soil is completely dry to the touch. Like most aloes, it is extremely drought-tolerant and sensitive to overwatering.

  • Soil: Use a well-draining cactus and succulent mix.

Add the charmingly spotted Aloe 'Mini Belle' to your collection and enjoy its unique texture and color!
