Gonialoe dinteri
Gonialoe dinteri is a stemless succulent rosette from arid Namibia and southern Angola, grown for its striped leaves. The key to growing it is dry conditions and very fast-draining soil.
Gonialoe dinteri, the Namibian partridge aloe, is a species of flowering plant in the Asphodelaceae family. It is native to arid areas of Angola and Namibia.
This species can be grown in cultivation, but needs dry conditions and very well-drained porous soil. It is relatively cold-hardy, due to the low nighttime temperatures of its desert habitat.
Gonialoe dinteri is found in fragmented populations across a large, arid portion of Namibia, around the edges of the Namib Desert, into extreme southern Angola. It usually occurs in deep cracks in limestone or granite rock, or growing under scrub. It is listed in the IUCN Red List under the species synonym Aloe dinteri.
