Aloe Polyphlla Spiral Aloe 200mm

Aloe polyphylla (Spiral Aloe) is one of the most striking and sought-after succulents in the world, admired for its perfectly symmetrical spiral of fleshy, grey-green leaves. Each plant naturally forms a stunning geometric pattern—clockwise or anticlockwise—making it a true living sculpture and a standout feature in pots or rock gardens.

Native to the high mountains of Lesotho, this unique aloe prefers cooler conditions compared to most succulents and thrives when given excellent drainage and fresh air. While slow-growing, its architectural beauty makes it well worth the wait, whether used as a feature plant or in a carefully curated succulent display.

Over time, mature plants may produce tall spikes of salmon-pink to red flowers, adding even more visual interest.

Tip: The key to success is sharp drainage and cool roots. Plant in a free-draining succulent mix on a slight mound or slope, and avoid water sitting in the centre of the plant to prevent rot.
