    Dwarf clumping aloe hybrid with triangular leaves that have small white tubercles on the surface. Flowers are pink-orange to reddish with greenish mouths. The parents (Aloe descoingsii and haworthioides) are both attractive small plants from Madagascar. "Pepe" is a well-behaved container plant that does not require a lot of space. Provide excellent drainage. A John Bleck hybrid, with the same parentage as the very similar D.M. Cumming hybrid "Dainty". Much faster growing than the descoingsii parent.
