Plant in full sun to light shade in a well-drained soil and irrigate occasionally to infrequently. Ultimate hardiness is not known but judging by this hybrid's parentage and the coldest years we have had it we feel it likely to be hardy to 25-30° F.

Aloe 'Pandan' is a hybrid between the large tree aloe, Aloe barberae, and the fan aloe, Aloe plicatilis, both plants that we also grow. Our understanding is that this cross was made by Ronald Regehr of Cactus Canyon Nursery in Vista California.

The most recent nomenclatural changes have placed the two species involved in this cross in different genera as Aloidendron barberae for the tree aloe and Kumara disticha for the fan aloe, making this plant technically an intergeneric hybrid. At this time we continue to list all of the species that have been segregated into other genera still as Aloe. The name 'Pandan' was coined by Jeff Chemnick of Aloes in Wonderland, from whose garden we got our cuttings of this unusual plant that has some resemblance to a Screw Pine, Pandanus utilis. 

Information displayed on this page about Aloe 'Pandan' is based on our research conducted about this plant in our nursery library as well as from information provided by reliable online resources. We also include our own observations made about it as it has grown in the nursery gardens and other gardens visited, as well how the crops of this plant performed in the containers in our nursery field. We will also include comments received from others and welcome hearing from anyone who has information about this plant, particularly if it includes cultural information aiding others to better grow it.
