Whether you want to grow it indoors or outdoors, aloe aristata is one succulent that will add spice to your existing collection. When planting outdoors, choose a spot in your garden that gets full sun to partial shade. Their ability to absorb sunlight and transform it into food that can be grown limits. They can't absorb as much carbon dioxide because they have fewer than normal stomata. This limits their ability to photosynthesis.
