Astroloba
Also called Starlobes
Astroloba is a genus of small, slow-growing, multi-stemmed succulents from the Aloe family, grown for their sharp, triangular leaves arranged in spirals. Key to success is bright shade to part shade, sharp drainage and sparing water.
Astroloba is a genus of flowering plants in the family Asphodelaceae, subfamily Asphodeloideae, native to the Cape Province of South Africa.
These species are restricted to the dryer inland regions of the southern Cape, South Africa. In their arid natural habitat, they tend to favour semi-shade positions, with well-drained soil and winter rainfall.
