Plant Summary

Aloe maculata, also known as soap aloe, is a versatile garden plant that can be enjoyed year-round. Its broad, triangular leaves and flat-topped inflorescences with yellow, red, or orange flowers make it stand out in any garden. It is very common in cultivation throughout South Africa and can tolerate a variety of soil types and moisture regimes. Aloe maculata is a rich source of nectar and attracts sunbirds, making it a great addition to any garden. The slow-growing plant should be planted in well-drained soil mixed with compost and placed in full sun. The sap from the leaves is said to be used as a substitute for soap.
