Red Succulent Questions


A striking red succulent with long, spiky leaves edged in tiny teeth stands out against lush green foliage—a stunning centerpiece and favorite among those with succulent questions.

Hello
While visiting Santa Barbara Mission I came across this plant. Questions
Is it an agave? Is it always red or only because it’s outside and in direct sun ?
Or Is it red due to maturity?

Inquisitive minds want to know
Thanks
Emma

Emma,

Nice! That’s Aloe cameronii, also known as Red Aloe. Always red, but more red in more sun.

Peter
