The hybrids are formed by combining two aloes with cross pollination, often using hybrid aloes in the hybridization. Don't be surprised if a hybrid aloe has the parentage of four or more aloes. With hybridization, we typically get a stronger, more resilient plant. Bright sunlight works best. Absolutely place in a southern or western facing window. Hybrid aloes will not thrive in an indirect or filtered light setting. Avoid overwatering.
