Plant Sizing Guide

Soap Aloe is a succulent plant originating from South Africa. This evergreen perennial is renowned for its attractive rosettes of fleshy, lance-shaped leaves that have a distinctive reddish-brown coloration. The leaves contain a gel-like substance with mild soap-like properties. This aloe species is well-suited for arid and semi-arid environments, showcasing its resilience and drought tolerance. In the right conditions, Soap Aloe produces tubular, coral-orange flowers on tall spikes that attract pollinators. The plant is often grown in gardens, rockeries, or as a potted specimen, adding both ornamental value and a touch of utility with its unique sap. As with many aloes, Aloe saponaria is relatively low-maintenance and thrives in well-draining soil under full sun exposure.
