Aloe dorotheae, commonly known as Red Aloe or Dorothea Aloe, is a striking succulent native to the arid regions of southern Africa. This species is known for its vibrant, colorful foliage, which ranges from green to a rich reddish-orange hue, especially when stressed by sunlight or drought. The plant typically grows in a rosette shape, with narrow, fleshy leaves that have smooth edges and a slightly curved, tubular form. Over time, the rosettes can reach a height of 18–24 inches (45–60 cm), making it a manageable size for garden beds, containers, or rock gardens. Aloe dorotheae thrives in full sun to partial shade and requires well-draining soil to prevent root rot. In late winter to early spring, it produces tall, slender spikes of tubular, bright orange to coral-red flowers, which attract pollinators like hummingbirds and bees. This aloe variety is well-suited to drought-tolerant landscapes and is prized for its ornamental beauty and low maintenance needs. With its vibrant foliage and easy care requirements, Aloe dorotheae is a popular choice for succulent gardens, xeriscaping, and container plantings.
