Aloe polyphylla, with its beautifully regular spirals, seems more likely to delight mathematicians than botanists. As shown in the photograph, it only reveals such perfectly formed spirals after reaching a certain level of maturity. In the wild, this aloe resides at altitudes so high that it is almost buried in snow and can withstand temperatures down to -20°C. On the other hand, even in summer, the temperature rarely exceeds 20°C, so it is generally categorized as an 'alpine plant' (in botanical gardens, it is sometimes kept in air-conditioned alpine plant exhibition rooms). Since Japan experiences scorching, sweltering summers, you’ll need both proper facilities and financial resources to protect it successfully.

@UK_Boothby Well Aloe striatula is absolutely hardy, and Aloe polyphylla is meant to be too, though I suspect it would struggle with winter rain. Opuntias are good though, yes ☺️
@acherontiadex I usually do well with transplanting Aloe polyphylla to compost, but not as well with other species. I've done 2 dichotoma so far but one has rotted.
@acherontiadex I've germinated the Aloe polyphylla in water again so I should probably plonk the seedling in some compost tomorrow
