New Arrival: Aloe polyphylla – The Spiral Aloe
 
Striking, rare, and mathematically mesmerizing — Aloe polyphylla is one of the most sought-after succulents in the world. Native to the high mountain slopes of Lesotho in Southern Africa, this plant is famous for its perfectly symmetrical, spiraling rosette that forms naturally as it matures.
A true collector’s piece and an architectural marvel, the Spiral Aloe thrives in cool, well-draining conditions and is ideal for:
Rock gardens or alpine-style landscapes
Feature pots with excellent drainage
Succulent collections and rare plant lovers
 
Unlike common aloes, this species doesn’t offset or form pups — each one grows from seed. This is a slow-growing and highly prized plant.
 
Growing Conditions:
Prefers cool, temperate climates
Full sun to light shade (especially in hot areas)
Requires very free-draining, gritty soil
Protect from heavy summer rain and winter wet feet
Handles frost and snow once established — perfect for Waikato & cooler NZ zones
 
Aloe polyphylla is not just a plant — it’s a living sculpture. Each rosette eventually spirals clockwise or counterclockwise, creating a hypnotic, natural geometric pattern.
