Aloe ferox

Family: Asphodelaceae, Genus: Aloe

Description:

Aloe ferox is a tall, single-stemmed succulent native to southern Africa, reaching heights of up to 10 feet. Known for its thick, fleshy leaves arranged in rosettes with reddish-brown spines, it produces striking orange or red flowers on multi-branched inflorescences. This plant is used both medicinally and cosmetically, yielding a non-bitter gel. Aloe ferox thrives in dry-tropical climates with full sun and well-drained, sandy-loamy soils. It is often confused with Aloe excelsa but can be distinguished by its compact, erect leaves and dense cylindrical racemes.
