Aloe maculata
soap Aloe - zebra Aloe
Description
Aloe maculata, often called the soap aloe or zebra aloe, is a striking succulent characterized by its spotted leaves. The plant forms clumps of lance-shaped, fleshy leaves, with distinctive white or pale green spots, creating a zebra-like pattern. It produces vibrant red or orange tubular flowers on tall, unbranched stems, blooming primarily in the winter. Aloe maculata is a relatively small, easy-to-grow aloe species, making it a popular choice for gardens and containers. It thrives in full sun to partial shade and requires well-drained soil. The plant is relatively drought-tolerant once established. For best results, allow the soil to dry out between waterings.
