Description
A small to medium rambling aloe which spreads quite untidily and in clumps, it's thin semi-woody stems often support themselves against trees or other sturdy shrubs. Its stems intertwine to support the fleshy blue-green leaves which are slightly toothed. The spiked flower clusters are dainty and range from yellow to orange to orange-red.

Natural Habitat
It is found mostly in the Eastern and Western Cape but has also found its way to Mpumalanga and KwaZulu-Natal.
