African Pearls

Meet the African Pearls, a striking and sophisticated member of the Asphodelaceae family (the same family as the beloved Aloe vera!). Known for its elegant, elongated leaves and distinctive "pearl" texture, this succulent is a stunning choice for anyone looking to add a touch of exotic flair to their collection.

While it shares the classic rosette growth habit and hardy nature of its Aloe cousins, the African Pearls stands out with its intricate white tubercles that dust the leaves like fine beadwork. Depending on light exposure, its foliage can range from a deep, lush green to a dramatic sunset bronze.

Key Features

Intricate "Pearl" Texture: Every leaf is adorned with raised white spots, creating a high-contrast, tactile look that feels as good as it looks.

Dramatic Color Shifting: This variety is known for its beautiful "stress colors," turning shades of copper and mahogany when given plenty of bright light.

Vertical Elegance: Unlike the low-profile Fairy Washboard, the African Pearls features slender, upright leaves that add height and drama to any arrangement.

Resilient & Easy-Care: Like most in the Aloe family, it is incredibly drought-tolerant and thrives on a "soak and dry" watering schedule.

Size: Arrives well-rooted and ready to shine in a 2.5" nursery pot.

Style Tip: Pair the African Pearls with a white or minimalist ceramic pot to make those signature white "pearls" really pop!
