Aloe Dichotoma, or Aloidendron dichotomum, is an extremely tough and long-lived suculent that may reach the age of 80 years. This is one of the biggest members of the genus Aloe with thick green leaves and tiny, yellowish spikes. The leaves form a rosette at the branch tips. A young plant looks like a tiny bonsai, but a mature Dichotoma plant can grow up to 23 feet with many branches.

As Aloe Dichotoma is a slow grower it might take over several decades for this plant to reach to its mature height.

A mature plant might bloom yellow flowers in the spring, but that is very rare.

Plants may be shipped bare root.

Aloe Dichotoma loves bright light and thrives in full-sun to partial-sun in outdoor spots, as well as in bright indirect light indoors. This plant can tolerate moderate shady conditions.

This plant is drought tolerant and does not need regular watering. Water only when the soil is dry to the touch. Avoid over-watering as it can cause root rot.

Aloe requires well-drained and porous soil to grow healthy. Water should be drained fast to avoid over-absorption to roots. It is better to use a soil mix that does not settle in water for long.

This plant thrives in temperatures of 40°F-85°F. It can tolerate occasional temperatures as low as 23°F but in general you should protect this plant from temperature below 30°F.

This plant should be fertilized once during the growing season (spring/summer) with diluted houseplant fertilizer.

Provide porous soil with adequate drainage, pots with drainage hole are recommended. Bright, filtered light and ample airflow. Water thoroughly when soil is dry to the touch. Never let your succulents sit in water. Do NOT water on the leaves. If you water from beneath by letting the plant sit in a saucer of water, make sure to pour off any excess water after a few minutes. The hotter it is outside, the faster your soil will dry out, so you’ll need to water more often if you live in a hot area. Water with caution in winter, as the plant can lose its roots if the soil stays cold and wet for extended periods; protect from frost to prevent scarring.
