Aloe trinervis
Overview
A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.
Aloe trinervis faces severe pressure from habitat destruction as its native coastal and inland areas are converted for agricultural development and urban expansion. The species is particularly vulnerable due to its restricted range and slow growth rate, making population recovery difficult once local populations are eliminated. Overcollection for horticultural trade has further reduced wild populations, as this distinctive three-veined aloe is sought after by succulent collectors.
Habitat
Aloe trinervis inhabits rocky outcrops, coastal cliffs, and well-drained slopes in its native range, typically growing in sandy or gravelly soils with excellent drainage. The species favors areas with partial shade to full sun exposure and is adapted to Mediterranean-type climates with dry summers and mild, wet winters.
