    I've had this Aloe aristata x Gasteria for about 4 years now. It has grown and grown and produced lots of babies.
    This was it back in 2009.

    Thanks Deanna and Eileen.
    I absolutely to nothing with this plant... except remove the babies when it gets too crowded. Most of the time I don't even water it. Maybe that's the trick... total neglect! :stew2:
