Aloe Arborescens 🌿
Also known as the “Torch Aloe,” this striking succulent makes a bold statement with its tall, branching form and dense rosettes of fleshy grey-green leaves edged in soft teeth. In its native climate, it can grow into a dramatic shrub, but indoors it makes an impressive and easy-care feature plant.

Stylish and architectural, Aloe Arborescens is perfect for adding structure and greenery to larger spaces, while offering all the low-maintenance perks of a succulent.

How not to kill your Torch Aloe (Aloe arborescens)

We've created a personalised Grow Guide for your Torch Aloe (Aloe arborescens). Just follow this easy guide and you & your new leafy mate will be loving life together!

Light: Direct

I love the light! A big ol' dose of bright, sunlight each day is my idea of heaven. I'm even up for some direct rays, just as long as it's not a scorcher. That said, I'm pretty adaptable. If light or dappled shade is all you've got, I won't complain.

Watering: Light

When it comes to drinking,I'm a Lizzie Lightweight, the cheapest date in town! Just a small one for me, please, and don't be rushing to top me up either. I won't thank you for it. Allow my soil to dry out almost completely between waterings, and we'll get on just fine.

Humidity: Normal

Atmospherics? I'm really not that bothered, actually. Just your everyday household humidity is fine. No extra attention required, thanks, so don't be comin' at me with that spritzer!

Top tips from our Agony Plant.

Memento Top Tip 💡

Let the compost dry thoroughly between waterings, especially in winter.
